A scathing ad asks why Republicans won't fight President Trump for ignoring subpoenas from Congress, citing House GOP lawmakers who successfully stood their ground against former President Richard Nixon in 1974.

This week's advertisement is currently being run on a digital billboard in New York City's Times Square. The ad echoes Kristol's own frequent criticism of Trump from a conservative viewpoint and attempts to cajole today's GOP into respecting the rule of law by harkening back to history.

"If we refuse to impeach the president because of his defiance of the Congress, then future respondents will be in the position where they can determine themselves what they're going to provide in impeachment inquiries and what they're not going to provide," said Robert McClory, Illinois Republican and member of the House Judiciary Committee, at one of the Nixon investigation hearings.
