Rep. Sri Thanedar moves to impeach US President Donald Trump, gets dragged online for his hair: 'Who sold him that wig?'

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) ignited a political firestorm when he presented seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, saying that Trump directly threatened American democracy — but it was the congressman's hair that took center stage online.

One quipped Thanedar's hair appeared to be "plotting a coup against his comb," and another called out, "Somebody impeach that mop on his head first."

Even with the internet mockery going viral, Thanedar remained steadfast, reaffirming that Trump's refusal to abide by the Supreme Court was "an existential threat to the very checks and balances that keep our Democracy intact.
