Donald Trump Impeachment: How Stars Reacted To The News

Wednesday was a historic day in America, as President Donald Trump became the third-ever U.S. President to be impeached, with the House of Representatives voting to remove him from office on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges.

Celebrities are often very public about their political opinions. The Washington Post reported that the reason why stars are this way is that people will listen to them. In our culture, celebrities also double as influencers not just in their art but in our society. So naturally, those who have beliefs on both sides of the political spectrum took to social media when they learned the news.
