Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman called for President Donald Trump to be “eliminated” from office on Wednesday.
During a House Budget Committee hearing, Watson Coleman said, “If we wanted to eliminate abuse and fraud, we’d eliminate the President of the United States from the office right now, and the rest of the sycophants in his administration that are allowing him to do so many illegal things.”
The official White House Rapid Response account posted the video and responded, “These people are SICK!”
