ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A city council in Maryland unanimously approved a resolution condemning former President Donald Trump for the violent siege of the U.S. Capitol.
The Annapolis City Council passed the measure Monday night despite reservations from a Republican member who later voted with the majority. Alderman Fred Paone said while he supports some sentiments in the resolution, mentioning Trump made it “purely political.”
Paone then sought a motion to remove mentions of Trump. But that failed by a 5-4 vote.
The resolution’s sponsor said it’s hard to separate Trump from what happened on Jan. 6.
