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.
"Trump's assaults on due process, birthright citizenship, humanitarian relief, and the courts are not 'politics.' They are an assault on our democracy. Enough is enough," Thanedar said on X, stating the step. He shared a passionate video criticizing Trump for "trampling over the Constitution" and disregarding a Supreme Court order to repatriate deported immigrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
"When Trump disregards the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not 'fighting for America.' He is dismantling it and putting our democracy at risk," Thanedar added.
But as his video went viral on social media, many MAGA fans and others latched onto something else altogether: Thanedar's hair.
"Rep. Shri Thanedar has filed articles of impeachment against President Trump — and quite frankly, he should write articles against whoever sold him that wig too," a user joked.
Another added, "Did he pilfer that wig from Bozetta the clown?! He needs to impeach his barber!"
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.
