"Dragged out on the White House lawn like a 1980s episode of 'Cops.'"Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson assured Cross that, indeed, if President Trump refused to leave the White House on January 20th, the Secret Service would treat him as a "trespasser," and "do their job" of removing him. Here's the exchange:
TIFFANY CROSS: If this president is just saying, 'I won’t go.' I’m calling the election fraudulent and I will not leave the White House. Will we see this president dragged out on the White House lawn like a 1980s episode of 'Cops'? Like, literally, people are concerned that he won’t go. What will happen? BENNIE THOMPSON: Well, and people are concerned. Some are wondering if he’ll even show up at the swearing-in of the new president. However, the law is clear. The Constitution is clear. The Secret Service guards the White House, and the sitting president. If the sitting president is Joe Biden, then Donald Trump is a trespasser. So, he has to be removed. So, he can throw all the fits he want [sic] to and not want to leave, but at the end of the day, the Secret Service will do their job.Cross began the segment with a clip of the ever-classy Kamala Harris during a primary-season debate saying of President Trump, "dude gotta go." Cross, predictably, echoed Harris' line.
