Impeachment 2.0
Donald Trump made the wrong kind of history yet again this week by becoming the only President to be impeached twice.

One of San Diego’s newest members of congress not only voted against impeachment, but also voted to challenge the election certification based on lies about alleged voter fraud. Michael Smolens, columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune, joins us to talk about how San Diego’s lawmakers weathered the tumultuous week.
