“So what did this president do? Nothing,” Steyer said in the ad. “Is he doing anything to prevent a future attack? The head of the FBI says no.”
“This president has failed his most important responsibility: protecting our country.”
Steyer, a major environmental activist, has poured tens of millions of dollars into his “Need to Impeach” campaign that calls on members of Congress to support impeaching the president.
He told The Hill during a sit-down interview at the Democratic convention on Saturday that his group should exceed 5 million signatures on his petition by the end of the week.
During his address, Steyer continued to rail against Trump and condemned his response to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., last fall. He also slammed Trump for his Twitter interactions with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“We need to stand for our principles, that means confronting the man who has no principles: Donald Trump,” Steyer said on the floor of the convention.
