Lady Gaga calls for Trump to be impeached and not removed via the 25th Amendment

A staunch and outspoken supporter of Joe Biden and progressive politics, Lady Gaga made her feelings known on Thursday night following the harrowing events that transpired in Washington, D.C. the day prior.

The Chromatica singer, 34, posted a clear and resounding tweet that detailed her stance on the next steps that should be taken concerning Donald Trump, after a rally over which he presided on Wednesday turned into a violent riot that breached the Capitol building and resulted in the death of at least one person.

In her tweet, Gaga explained why pursuing impeachment of the president was a more effective approach than trying to invoke the 25th amendment of the US Constitution.

She also labeled the riot that Trump ‘incited’ as ‘domestic terror.’

‘I hope we focus to impeach Trump so Congress has the constitutional authority to possibly disqualify him from future election,’ the Star Is Born actress wrote. 

‘The #25thAmendment doesn’t disqualify him. He incited domestic terror—how much more violence needs to happen? This is terrorism.’

Impeachment stipulates that once a politician is impeached and removed from office, he or she is never allowed to hold a position in public office again.

If, however, the sitting president was stripped of power with the 25th amendment, he could potentially seek reelection in the future.

The point is a fair one, as Trump has alluded many times to plans for future nominations, perhaps as early as 2024.

The disruption on Wednesday of Congress’s certification of Joseph R. Biden’s victory in November’s presidential election quickly devolved into a panicked and chaotic free-for-all that left an embarrassing mark on American political proceedings on the world stage.

Trump’s comments leading up to and even during the melee were branded by many – including Republicans who have until recently supported him – as having directly incited the violent and extremist mob.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that the Democrats were prepared to again start impeachment proceedings against the president in spite of the fact that his term is over in just under two weeks.

Lady Gaga, meanwhile, also spoke out on a different political matter on Thursday: specifically the democratic double victory in the Georgia Senate runoff elections.

The Oscar-winner, who campaigned for Biden in the days leading up to November‘s presidential election, credited the ‘work of black women activating Georgia’ for the turning of the tide in the Peach State.

‘I believe the change that so many wish for exists in the work of Black Women activating Georgia,’ she tweeted on Thursday morning. 

‘White Supremacy responded as it does often with little repercussions, like on 1/6/21. But this will not undo their work.’
