The left-wing California-based Courage Campaign is paying $1,500 a week for a looming billboard on the Bay Bridge that calls on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
In the Democratic Bay Area, the billboard received cheerful honks, lots of “thumbs up” on Facebook and comments like this from Andrew Carothers-Laske of Oakland: “He’s unfit for office.”
As of Monday morning, Trump had not commented or tweeted about the banner.
Reached by phone Monday morning and speaking in support of Trump, Harmeet Dhillon, San Francisco attorney and committeewoman for the California Republican Party, told KTVU that “whoever put that up is exercising their Free Speech.” And while she said it may seem like a “cute gesture,” Trump has committed no impeachable crimes and so the billboard “has no impact in my opinion.”
