Billionaire Tom Steyer will air a new commercial on “Fox & Friends” Friday and Monday advocating for impeachment.

Politico reports that Steyer’s group “Need to Impeach” is putting $700,000 behind the ad and timed the commercial’s airing with the hope that President Trump, a frequent viewer of the Fox News show, will see it.

“Right now, Donald Trump is committing crimes in the open,” Steyer says in the ad, citing Trump’s vow to fight congressional subpoenas and declaration that he would listen to opposition research supplied by a foreign power in 2020. “The Mueller report identified multiple instances of obstruction of justice.”

“Congress, and that means both parties, must put their own political interests aside and focus on what’s right for our country,” Steyer added. “America will move forward as soon as leaders stop acting on their own interest, start leveling with voters and do what's right.”

1. At least, the guy is thinking.

He is holding both Parties responsible for not working together to do what's right for the country.

3. ...and threatening to Primary Democratic Incumbents who don't see things his way.

Definitely what we need to fight the Republicans.

7. I understand traitortrumps ongoing evils and the costs. However, I'm concerned first about

primarying incumbents and thereby helping trump.

Secondly, I'm concerned for Representatives, doing their appropriate Representative government work, who genuinely decide 'Impeachment Now' is not prudent and for the good of the country now. These reps, fearing less informed voters, should not be steamrolled, for both listed reasons into supporting impeachment now.

2. If Trump sees the ad

he will start calling Steyer a nickname. Little Tom? Uncle Tom?

5. he will also accuse Steyer of treason

Trumputin is a weak, sad, low energy, ignorant puppet and does not understand the definition of treason in the U.S. Constitution, so all he has is fear and anger. He thinks treason is anything that goes against his wishes.

4. It took a lot of cash for FOX to do something like that.

$700,000 dollars behind the ad?
