Spurs' Gregg Popovich says Donald Trump should be removed from office after Capitol riots

As one of the leading voices on social justice issues in the NBA, San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich did more than express outrage about supporters of President Donald Trump rioting inside and outside of the Capitol (https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2021/01/06/dc-protests-capitol-riot-trump-supporters-electoral-college-stolen-election/6568305002/) on Wednesday.
Before Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers (https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/basketball/nba/boxscore/1030465), Popovich called out Trump, Vice President Mike Pence as well as Republican senators Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.

Popovich said he believes "in all my heart that Trump enjoyed” his supporters storming the Capitol to disrupt the final certification of electoral votes (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/01/07/watch-pence-certify-biden-harris-election-results-after-capitol-riot/6578507002/) that determined Democratic candidate Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election.

“He’s incapable. He’s incompetent,” Popovich said of Trump. “While that was going on, 4,000 of our other citizens died due to the pandemic yesterday. We still have the cyber attack that was way worse than Pearl Harbor that hasn’t been talked about by him. He doesn’t care. He loved those people hitting the Capitol because that’s what he cares about. He’s incapable of caring. In one way, it’s sad because he’s a deranged and really flawed individual. But he’s also dangerous.”

Added Popovich: “I don’t think it’s so far fetched for people to start talking about the 25th Amendment.”

The rioters at the Capitol believed they were the rightful heirs of the revolutionary founders of our nation. They are fools and criminals. They are the heirs to the secessionists and traitors of our history. But if we are to distinguish ourselves from their treason, we must publicly condemn their actions and renounce the impulses that gave rise to it. Unlike our current president, we must not remain silent while the country is attacked.

Coach Pop is right.
Words no one has spoken in 5 years

I think he crossed a line he shouldn't be able to come back from. Removing him would serve as a message to others that the power of the POTUS has checks and balances. Eventually you're going to get these people who use the office as a shopping spree for anything they want.
