Blackstone Group Inc.’s Stephen Schwarzman, one of Wall Street’s most prominent and enduring supporters of President Donald Trump, condemned mobs that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and called for an orderly transfer of power to Joe Biden.
“The insurrection that followed the president’s remarks today is appalling and an affront to the democratic values we hold dear as Americans,” Schwarzman said in a statement. “I am shocked and horrified by this mob’s attempt to undermine our constitution. As I said in November, the outcome of the election is very clear and there must be a peaceful transition of power.”
