Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said Thursday that President Donald Trump deserves responsibility for last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, but he opposes the impeachment process.
Ducey believes a Senate vote to convict the Republican president would only further create a divide during tumultuous times in the country.

Trump on Wednesday was impeached by the House on a charge of “incitement of insurrection” over the deadly mob siege of the Capitol.
He’s the first president in history to have been impeached twice.
“The president bears some responsibility. I do think there is a take you can have on this for retribution or you can have the wisdom of turning down the heat,” Ducey told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show.
