House GOP lawmaker: Trump 'put all our lives at risk'

Newly-seated Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said Sunday that President Trump “put all of our lives at risk†with his rhetoric before the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
Mace made the comment while discussing a bipartisan effort to censure Trump, which she said Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had overruled in favor of impeaching Trump a second time.
“[W]ith censure, that was one of the things that I believe we should have had up for debate. It's complex, constitutionally, but there were folks in both chambers and in both parties having the ability to look at that as an option, but we couldn't even bring it up for debate or look at that as an option because we were really trying hard to figure out, ‘How do we, how do we hold a president accountable that put all of our lives at risk’?†she said on NBC’s “Meet the Press†Sunday.
Mace called the riots “a traumatic event for many members of Congress†and predicted more disturbing details about it would continue to come to light.
