As my friend Chris Barron said…give this guy more air time!
Rep. Al Green announced he intends to bring articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
The man is big mad because Trump mentioned the U.S. owning Gaza.
I transcribed his speech:
And still I rise. Mr. Speaker, and I rise today, Mr. Speaker, with a to whom it may concern message.To whom it may concern, ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the president of the United States, the most powerful person in the world. And he has the ability to perfect what he says. Ethnic cleansing in Gaza that is no joke. And the prime minister of Israel should be ashamed knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said.Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity. And I stand here today in the well to denounce what he was said, to denounce what the president said, to denounce the complicity of the prime minister of Israel and to remind people that Dr. King was right. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America.I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.I also rise to say that the impeachment movement is going to be a grass up. Movement, not a top down. The people have got to move forward. The people have to demand it. And when the people demand, it will be done. I did it before. I laid the foundation for impeachment, and it was done.Nobody knows more about it than I. And I know that it’s time for us to lay the foundation again. On some issues, it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. On this issue, I stand alone. But I stand for justice. I yield back the balance of my time.
Now, will this go anywhere? I doubt it since the Republicans control the House, but considering how Trump has broken the Democrats, it wouldn’t shock me if they make a big deal about this.
I need popcorn.
