LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:
The calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump have largely come from private citizens or politicians, but CBS SF Bay Area is now reporting that many California Bay Area cities are dog piling on as well.
On Tuesday night, the Berkeley City Council passed a five-page resolution calling for the president to be impeached, CBS reports.
“We were one of the first cities to standup against apartheid – that’s a movement that took off and spread and that’s very important,” Councilmember Sophie Hahn told the local CBS station.
One of the co-sponsors of the resolution, Berkeley City Councilmember Kate Harrison, told CBS, ““I think it’s going to send a powerful message. I think we have no choice but to do this.”
Harrison told CBS that the calls for impeachment over Russia, foreign money and attacks on the press, are American values.
“This is not a matter of policy disagreement with taxes, how we approach healthcare, etcetera. This is about the very essence of our constitution,” Harrison said.
Berkeley, however, is not the first city in the area to pass such a resolution. In fact, the city is joining both Alameda and Richmond in doing so, explained CBS.
“We want to make sure we are on the right side of history,” Alameda Vice Mayor Malia Vella told CBS. “Everything we do should be concerned about upholding civil rights, we should be concerned about upholding the Constitution.”
The municipalities are trying to push the idea to Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland).
Howard Epstein from the San Francisco Republican Party calls the resolutions crazy, says CBS.
“Since the election of President Trump, they’ve been acting like three year olds throwing temper tantrums,” Epstein said.
