Former House Speaker John Boehner says President Donald Trump should consider resigning his post.
The Republican former Ohio congressman began his remarks during a webinar on health care policy Monday by talking about Trumps baseless claims of widespread election fraud and last weeks siege of the Capitol by pro-Trump insurrectionists.
Heres the president of the United States, in my view, inciting a riot
and the Capitol being threatened, Boehner said. Its time for Donald Trump to consider resigning his post. He has violated his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Boehner was speaker from 2011 to 2015, and he has largely steered clear of publicly commenting on Trump. But on Monday he said Trump has abused the loyalty of the people who voted for him.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ A member of the House Republican leadership team admitted Friday he distributed a tobacco PACs campaign checks on the House floor, but said hell never do it again.
Watchdog groups said the practice is legal but condemned it as outrageous, nonetheless.
GOP Conference Chairman John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he stopped handing out the checks after being questioned about the practice by ``a few of my colleagues.″
Boehner, whose conference job places him fourth in the House GOP leadership, didnt say which fellow lawmakers questioned him.
