Progressive activists will stage a protest outside Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s office to push the congressman to backing an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump Friday morning.
“No one is above the law and according to the Department of Justice, the only remedy for a sitting president is impeachment,” protest organizer Susan Steinberg said. “We demand our representatives do their job.”
Among the groups hosting the protest are Indivisible NJ5, JOLT, the Democratic Club of Allendale, Women of Action NJ, the Highlands Resistance, Teaneck Women Together, District 5 Coalition for Change, Ramsey Pins, Mahwah After the March and Waldwick Progressives.
Though some of New Jersey’s Democratic congresspeople have called for an impeachment inquiry against Trump, Gottheimer has long opposed such a measure.
Now, the moderate Democrat is facing a primary challenge from Glen Rock Councilwoman Arati Kreibich, a progressive.
