There has been violence at the hands of Trump supports all throughout Washington D.C this week. In fact, a group of rioters charged Capitol Hill, causing it to go into lockdown. Many claim that the sitting President is responsible for this violence. Members within the hockey community, namely Ken Campbell of The Hockey Writers, are calling for Orr to repudiate President Trump.
