The U.S. Capitol has not been breached for over 200 years, since the War of 1812--that is, until last week, when it wasn't another country that attacked us but our own President. President Donald Trump asked his supporters to march on the Capitol, inciting domestic terrorism that cost five lives, including a Capitol Police officer.

For that, he is unfit to be President, and we must impeach him.
