Left-wing Hollywood celebrities are ramping up pressure for authorities to arrest President Donald Trump, claiming that he deliberately incited his supporters to storm the Capitol building on Wednesday while omitting the fact that the president urged them to disband and return home peacefully.
The left is using the Capitol Hill clashes as an opportunity to revive impeachment demands and to promote their longstanding fantasy of seeing Trump led away in handcuffs. Since a sitting president cannot be arrested while still in office, they are conjuring up alternative scenarios, with actor John Cusack recommending that authorities take Trump into custody at Mar-a-lago the day after he leaves office.
The Hunger Games actress and Charlie’s Angels reboot director Elizabeth Banks tweeted: “Impeach. Unseat. Arrest.”

Biden supporter and filmmaker Rob Reiner said that the president must be prosecuted or “we will no longer be a Democracy.”
Nothing that happened at the US Capitol on Jan.6 was a surprise. We’ve known for 4 yrs. who this man was. If he is not prosecuted for the mountain of Federal Crimes he has committed, we will no longer be a Democracy.

Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer said the president “must be arrested” for what happened on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Trump has not conceded.
There is enormous danger until he concedes that he lost a free and fair election.
Trump incited an insurrection and must be arrested and tried for it. https://t.co/NJXnTPSA3h

Actor Jeffrey Wright added his voice to the chorus demanding the president’s arrest.
Bottom line: the US Gov lease to the Trump Organization for its hotel at the Old Post Office needs to be voided.
Also, arrest Trump. https://t.co/pMUANCflCl

Jail #POTUS now. His clowns, his circus. His “very special” people he “loves” he said he’d be “with them, walking down Pennsylvania Avenue.”
