Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the White House on Jan. 6 and said lawmakers would ask Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove then-President Trump from office if he did not do more to condemn the rioters at the Capitol, according to a new book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.

“This Will Not Pass” says that Graham furiously called White House counsel Pat Cipollone while the riot was happening on Jan. 6, 2021, Axios reported.

"We’ll be asking you for the 25th Amendment" if Trump does not do more to condemn the rioters, Graham told Cipollone.

According to the Martin-Burns book, Graham said he hoped the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol would unite the country as he left the building that night, per Axios.

1. Instead of doing the logical thing

Calling up the Democrats and fast tracking an impeachment and a vote to deny him any future federal office.

I think the GOP would be a lot further ahead right now if they had done that.
