Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman shot down "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's call to impeach President Donald Trump for ordering airstrikes against key Iranian nuclear sites, telling Fox News that the proposal isn't "going anywhere."
"Of course, no [he should not be impeached]," the Keystone State Democrat said on "America's Newsroom," Monday.
"She knows it. I know it. We all know it… that's not going anywhere. He's been impeached twice, and now he's still our president as well too, so it's not going anywhere, and I don't think [bringing it up is] helpful."

In an X post reacting to the news, Ocasio-Cortez wrote, "The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
