BREAKING NEWS (MSNBC): Preeminent Right-Wing Commentator Hugh Hewitt Has Called for Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to Be Impeached, Forcing All Major Republican Figures Nationwide to Declare Whether a 1984 Med School Photo Is An Impeachable Offense; Consequences for Trump Pending

1/ Let's do this, America. Let's have this discussion *now*. Let's create a firm moral standard we can apply equally to all our leaders when it comes to racism, misogyny, and antisemitism. This conversation, initiated by the Republican Hewitt, *will* happen if US media allows it.

2/ We Democrats can either deal with a single bad actor in Virginia (which would be fine) or *change America for the better* by agreeing on a *bipartisan standard* for the conduct of our leaders (which would be *great*).

Let's not blow this *critical* moment in American history.

3/ Northam should go. And under the Hewitt Standard, so should Kavanaugh, Trump, King, Hyde-Smith, McConnell, and a large number of federal and state GOP officials. Let's *do* this. Let's clean house in American government of the documented racists, misogynists, and antisemites.

4/ Hewitt told MSNBC that he is calling for Northam's impeachment because Virginia is under a "malfeasance" standard for impeachment. So is America, which is why Abuse of Power (not a crime) was an impeachment-eligible offense at the presidential level for both Nixon and Clinton.
