Democrat Impeachment Hearings: Rep. Al Green Wonders Why No Black Impeachment Experts Were Called
“What subliminal message are we sending to the world when we have experts, but not one person of color? Are we saying that there are no people of color who are experts on this topic?”
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to take the partisan Democrat impeachment circus seriously. Particularly when there is infighting about identity politics taking place simultaneously.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) took to the floor to complain that his party had not called any black law professors for today’s public tutorial on the Constitution as it pertains to impeachment.
.@RepAlGreen criticizes the lack of black impeachment experts called before today's hearing:

You can’t make this stuff up.
This is great, possible the best part of the whole impeachment charade to date https://t.co/ltapAn4cKk

Rep. Green went on to say, “Black blackety-black race-ity-black blach.”
Just thought of something else: let the Republicans call in a black professor, or other eminent figure. Shelby Steele, Walter Williams….
How about Justice Clarence Thomas….that would be a hoot!
He can’t testify. Some of the cases involved could reach the Supreme Court.
This the same guy who lead the Black Caucus attack against Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernancke with insightful banking questions like “What have you done to help black Americans as Fed Chairman.”
Being an incurable wiseass, I don’t believe I could resisted with something like: “When I would exercise my power to raise or lower the discount rate, I always made sure to notate that black Americans were not to be excluded from the new rate. I take inclusion very seriously in keeping America united.”
I can’t remember a single intelligent question ever offered by the Black Caucus. It’s always lectures about black, black, black,…..
“What have you done to help black Americans as Fed Chairman”
“Well, we give them huge, unmerited point scale increases on the SATs over whites and Asians”
“What have you done to help black Americans as Fed Chairman”
“Not a single solitary thing. Our work involves all Americans. Strike that. Our work involves those Americans who choose to stoke the engines of America. Our work does not involve those who choose to hop on the train for a free ride.”
I’m pretty sure Representative Green was looking for plantation blacks.
I think it would be more impactful if Republicans were to call on Elizabeth Warren to testify since she was Harvard Law School’s first “woman of color” on faculty.
The visual would be priceless.
one more instance of democrat racism….from democrat racists.
Maybe Green should have invited a black law professor. Maybe Green is more of an idiot than I originally thought 🙂
Your blatant bootstrapism is just another example of how Whitey is keeping a brother down.
Green is a very good representative of people of color.
Yeah, except old Al isn’t a member of the Judiciary Committee (and very obviously not part of the hilariously nicknamed House Intelligence Committee*). He made his statement on the House floor with an eye toward keeping his Socialist-Democrat credentials appropriately burnished.
* Actual name: House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
No Troglodytes were called either, but you were there for them Al.
When Texasn start to brag and boast, I point out Green, Jackson Lee, LBJ, the Bush dynasty…
Yep! Even our morons are world class.
Maybe. Would it be a problem if we were? What makes you sure there are any?
True. And there well might be such experts, but perhaps such disagreed with the Democrat’s established premises. Those would be unwelcome. Of more import, is that Turley seemed the only normal attorney and legal academic in the room. Feldman has advocated sharia law as being superior to the common law, and believes the president, or at least this one, does not have the right to express an opinion. To him such is impeachable, apparently. Karlan is a crank. Gerhardt is legitimate, but has absolutely no factual information to provide and does a lot of supposition..never supposing Trump might be innocent as the call itself demonstrates. He has nothing but his left wing politics.

In any case “people of color,” whatever that means, should be proud to not be part of this scam.
Perhaps because he’s already done so much damage to the brand.
Members damaging the brand in this case are more likely to do so than not.
Rep. Al Green is of course right. PoC are perfectly capable of lying through their teeth and behaving like Red Guard revolutionaries at one of Jiang Qing’s Shanghai struggle meetings.
All democrats need now are heavy brass handcuffs and big, angry, progressive transwomen forcing republicans into the jet position.

I used this: mao; red guard; jet position : search term on google images. The first few images showed three black and white red guard rally photos. Not one photograph of Mao and Jiang Qing yet google listed three Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling photos.
For the record, Green is from Houston, not Texas.
(Many Texans do not claim Austin, Houston or Dallas-Fort Worth as part of Texas.)

Hah. That’s convenient. What happens when the non-Texas regions of Texas turn Texas blue, refer to you real Texans as ‘sugar teats’ and make you do unspeakable things … like… like… (blush)

THAT’S RIGHT, I SAID IT! (thanks Mark Levin)
Turning Texas Blue isn’t as imminent as the Socialist-Democrats, plain old Socialists and (from Moscow on the Colorado) Stalinists, Maoists and Trotskyites pretend.
Houston, Austin, Dallas, guilty as charged. But Fort Worth needs to be taken off the this list.
He and Sheila could get a room and signify.
Diversity… rabid diversity, in progress, persistent, and on a forward-looking basis.
What, a lesbo, a queer jew, and a guy who owns an angry dog weren’t enough?
A lesbo, a queer Jew, and a guy with an angry dog walk into a bar.
The bartender looks up and says, “What is this, some kind of joke?”
Don’t leave out the dyslexic that walked into a bra…
It’s too bad we never impeached a black president so we could have some of that racial justice.
Well it was the racist democrat party that called the white law professors, maybe you should consider voting against the agenda by using that grey matter inside that brick on top of your shoulders.
Or maybe it’s just too comfy on the plantation as a role model of how to behave when the masters call.
RACIST Al Green can’t stop being RACIST for a single moment, ever, even though it means accusing his own Party leadership of being somehow “racist” for not having a token black person among their “witnesses”.
Just to give you something to gripe about, Al, we did it just to piss you off, ok?
He’s partly right. Two white masculine males and a white trans/homo female are not diverse, a progressively tarnished Rainbow notwithstanding.
The audacity to not demand participation of all colors. There must be a call to diversity and exclusion including color quotas.
with an iq in the low 60s, that countenance and the continuous race card bs he’s lucky to be in congress–in the real world he couldn’t get hired-on as a toilet attendant
would not go to houston for the Second Coming
Is his district one of those demanded by Our Betters In Washington that assures a black gets elected?
To be honest I’m not sure whether it is gerrymandered to assure another Houston area minority district or, perhaps more likely, to assure that other Harris County area Districts do not run the risk of electing the likes of Lee or Green.
They should have called ‘Constitutional law professor’ Obama….
LOL!!!!
You don’t want to know what I call him.
I keep it clean. King Putt, or, The Wizard of Uhhs.
I just spell it with a 0.
Green’s quite a case.
It’s hard to imagine having to go through life as such a twisted little lump.
I didn’t see any Asians either
“What subliminal message are we sending to the world when we have experts, but not one person of color?”
The real question is: “What subliminal message are we sending to the world when we have representatives this moronic?”
To appease Al, Republicans should call on Harvard Law School’s most famous woman of color. She may already be in DC… down the hall in fact.
Imagine Maxine Waters’ frustration at having to keep her big mouth shut at the moment of her greatest triumph? /s
Blacks have experts re: American Landing on Mars {Shiela Jackass Lee] and Guam tipping over [Hank Jackson] – but apparently no impeachment experts. Sad.
The collective IQ of this fool’s district must be room temperature.
You have to remember something. Al Green got elected because Texas essentially had to gerrymander an almost totally Black district for him to run in. His political career is all about racial politics and the “victimization” of Black Americans.
The Reverend Al Sharpton should have a seat at the table.
