Jim Carrey urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to begin impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump with his new cartoon.
The actor ― in an apparent nod to the memorable “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” episode of the supernatural anthology series “The Twilight Zone” ― depicted Pelosi covering her ears inside an airplane as Trump sits outside on its wing.
“You may wanna grit your teeth and cross your fingers while this gremlin rips the engines apart,” wrote Carrey. “But the rest of us want to live.”
“START THE HEARINGS!” he added. “IMPEACH THIS ANIMAL!!”
