Celebrities React to Donald Trump Becoming First US President to Be Impeached Twice
Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, making him the first president to be impeached twice. The historic move came after House representatives said Trump incited the insurrection at the Capitol last week, which left five people dead.
The final vote was 232 to 197, with 10 Republicans joining all 222 Democrats in supporting a single article of impeachment charging the president with "incitement of insurrection," per CBS News. Trump's first impeachment came in December 2019, after pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Biden family.
As news broke of Trump's second impeachment, celebrities and public figures took to social media to comment on the move, which comes a week before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in as president.
"I didn’t even know you could be impeached twice. I thought it was like dying," Chrissy Teigen tweeted.

The importance of 10 GOP House members voting to impeach is this: It shows that it’s not about politics, it’s about courage. The truth is there, for those with guts enough to say it and mean it. To the ten with those guts, your country salutes you.
