Impeachment
Title
Impeachment
Description
Wondering why Andrew Johnson was impeached? I can't think about much else today. @michaelharriot, the master of this form, delivers.👇 Thaddeus Stevens is the hero of his story, natch. Of all the men in the Senate, Stevens was women's best ally in the fight over the 14th Amdt.
And then you can go read @michaelharriot's story from today, about James Buchanan. It's a masterpiece. My goal for 2020 is to write one thread that is half as good as what he does.
Everyone's talking about impeachment and Clinton & Johnson as the only presidents ever impeached. But most people don't know WHY Johnson was impeached.

So let me tell you the story about how not impeaching a racist president is a BIG reason why white supremacy lingers in America

Thread: I've been holding this story for impeachment day, which is kinda like Christmas but with better presents

Who was the first president subjected to impeachment? (Hint: He was also the most racist president ever.)
If you said Andrew Johnson, you're wrong.
