Mark Hamill, Cardi B and more celebrities react to Trump’s second impeachment
Donald Trump’s impeachment, for the second time, has led to elation in the celebrity world.
On Wednesday (13 January), the House of Representatives voted to impeach the US president for inciting an “insurrection” in last week’s attack on the Capitol. The decision has made Trump the first president in the nation’s history to be impeached twice.
Stars have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the significant moment.
Star Wars actor Mark Hamill wrote on Twitter: “When one impeachment won’t suffice. Damn his new crimes – impeach him twice.”
“Trump will have the legacy of doing a really great job of getting impeached. Better than any president. That’s a perfect biggley accomplishment,” added Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Mitchell on the hit sitcom.
I didn’t even know you could be impeached twice. I thought it was like dying

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.
