Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said Monday that he plans to force a vote on impeachment this month following President Trump’s inflammatory tweets telling a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from.
Green — who first unsuccessfully forced a vote on impeachment in 2017, with just 58 Democrats supporting the effort on the floor — said he feels he needs to take action due to the president’s recent rhetoric.
"I will again, this month, bring impeachment to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for bigotry in policy, harmful to our society," he tweeted.
In a press conference streamed on Facebook Live, the Texas Democrat said he plans to move forward before Congress breaks for its August recess, adding “to tolerate bigotry is to perpetuate bigotry, especially when you can do something about it.”

When did rhetoric become an impeachable offense?
Whether the Congressman realizes it, POTUS is covered by Amendment I.
Let this representative know how you feel at #UppitySpearChuckers
There are many, many brilliant black people.
Unfortunately, none of them are in Congress.
Is Al Green a human? I thought he was the wild man of Borneo.
“Al Green to force impeachment vote following incendiary Trump tweets”
Unless Nancy can figure out a way to shut this fool down, he’s going to single-handedly destroy the Dem Party, because if he forces an impeachment vote in the House at this point, it’s going to split the Dems right down the middle and completely fracture the party over what amounts to essentially to a meaningless gesture:
A. An impeachment motion in the House is almost guaranteed to fail.
B. And in the unlikely event it succeeds in the House, it’s gonna go down in the Senate, and likely to split the Dems there as well if a vote in the Senate is forced ...
Once again, President Trump is driving the Dems to complete distraction ...
You’d be hard pressed to find a more stupid man than Al Green.
Impee fotey-five
No, that was hank Johnson, but they’re both neck and neck when it comes to stupid.
Damn Communists need to be thrown out of the country. All of them.
Censure Al Green (Dumbass-Texas)
This is the OTHER Al Green’s second try
At impeaching Trump. He’d go again at it next year.
What are the charges, guilty of exercising his freedom of speech rights?
“Isn’t Al Green the one who asked the Admiral if Guam might tip over if we station too many of our guys there?”
That was Hank Johnson, one of the dimmest bulbs in the Congressional chandelier, if not the dimmest.
“I will again, this month, bring impeachment to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives............
.................because I enjoy embarrassing myself.
I see Alley Oop is at it again. Ride, Daddy, ride! Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop!
Hank Johnson, one of the dimmest bulbs in the Congressional chandelier
But he sure could sing...

Al Green - Call Me
Excuse me for asking but is Al still relevant?
Poor Al is going on the premise that the country is incensed and screaming for impeachment.
This guy can’t see the LOVE, for his HATE.
Impeachment is not what the people want.
Read the polls, Al.
