@pbsnews: California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 election hopeful, was asked by PBS News if he’d want Democrats to again impeach President Donald Trump if the party wins back majority control of Congress after the midterms elections. “Wherever the facts lead,” Newsom said. “I'm not naive about the politics of that because it will be a sideshow in distraction,” he told co-anchor Amna Nawaz. “What I don't want to do is see another impeachment that amounts to nothing except a virtue signal.” Instead, the governor said he’d rather see focus on other issues, such as affordable insulin and doing more on paid sick and family leave, and universal healthcare. Newsom, who has been one of Trump’s most vocal critics, added that there ought to be “accountability across the board.” “It's not just Trump,” he said. “It's all the folks that are complicit in this great grift. It's the folks who are complicit in the rank corruption that is going on in this administration.” Listen to the complete interview on our podcast, “Settle In.” Available beginning Sept. 8. #gavinnewson #trump #impeachment #politics #news

I don't understand, who's to be held accountable? Gavin Newsom or my great president, Donald Trump. As far as I can tell, he's lost multi million dollar companies, won't give an account of his and his wife's NGO'S. Let's talk about the train to nowhere that's costs California'ns over a billion. Newsom where all the money coming from? Accountability should include him too!

The last impeachment was not virtue signaling. He did at least a dozen impeachable offenses his first term and more this term.
