(CNN) Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is calling on President Donald Trump to resign following the riots at the Capitol on Wednesday, making her the first Republican senator to take that step. He has caused enough damage," Murkowski said in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News"I think he should leave. He's either been golfing or he's been inside the Oval Office fuming and throwing every single person who has been loyal and faithful to him under the bus, starting with the vice president," Murkowski told the paper. He needs to do the good thing, but I don't think he's capable of doing a good thing," Murkowski said. Murkowski joins more than two dozen Senate Democrats in calling for Trump's ouster, but breaks new ground among Senate Republicans who have at best publicly considered such a move.
