Former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis is torching President Donald Trump.
Mattis, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, is not holding back in response to violence that broke out as protesters pushed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday — the day Congress met to certify the election results.
In a statement, obtained by multiple networks, Mattis wrote, “Today’s violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump.”
