A black Texas congressman said Saturday that he’s been threatened with lynching by callers infuriated over him seeking impeachment of President Donald Trump.
U.S. Rep. Al Green held a town hall meeting and played recordings of several threatening voicemails left at his offices in Houston and Washington, the Houston Chronicle reports .
The seven-term Democrat told the crowd of about 100 people that he won’t be deterred. […]
One male caller used a racial insult and threatened Green with “hanging from a tree” if he pursues impeachment. Another man left a message saying Green would be the one impeached after “a short trial” and then he would be hanged, according to the recording. …

Snowflakes & Sootflakes.
Proper response - sedition, treason, traitor.
Is there not one person in Congress courageous enough to use these words in response? That said, what can we expect from a gang of liars, thieves and perverts (and cowards).
“For evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing.”
John Stuart Mill
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”
John Harington
“These are the times that try men’s souls.”
Thomas Paine
Al Green Great soul music. “Let’s stay together “
So what would Al Green wish for us “Deplorables and Irredeemables” if he was in charge? The Right and the Left are at war.
BI’ll tossing sob.
Just another fake victim who set up phone calls to make himself look like he was being threatened.
Al Green is FOS.
Anyone that believes one word that jackass says is a complete fool.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one making the calls. Fake as always.
Race baiting expert.
Time for Romanian term limits to make a comeback.
Who would waste their time and money to call Green.
Too bad there’s not an IQ test to run for office. Great way to clean the swamp.

Lol...Have you been reading the comments after articles in the last week? His callers were very polite in comparison.
Getting nasty replies from people has always been part of the job of being a political figure. He should know everybody is not going to like or agree with him especially when there are so many nuts running loose these days.
He’s hiding behind his color and allowing an exploitive media to use it. At least these callers didn’t suggest burning him alive naked in a cage as some of the religion of peace people favor. Or it doesn’t sound like South Africans who tend to favor machetes and “tiring” and burning people alive either. This “get a rope” incident sounds like one of those rare old southern slave owners or his family members might have gone off the government plantation again. I could go on but I am treading on racial issues and dancing around the subject of diversity which are out of bounds these days.
This skunk politician should man up and realize threats will come with the job. He is not the first politician to be threatened or his sanity questioned. He is certainly not the first of his color. What is he expecting...love and kisses from the right and left. Or can’t we all just get along stuff from the sixties maybe. Perhaps unicorns and rainbows everywhere. Me thinks he needs to wake up and smell the roses. The swamp is slowly draining and he will need a rope. How he uses it will determine whether he survives.
BTW, in the old days we, the people, used to accuse our politicians and lawyers of having a yellow stripe running down their backside. Oh, how terrible because we knew they knew how we dealt with skunks back then. Yes, history seemly does repeat itself when people do not learn from the say. past. When they start hanging and shooting politicians then we have only history to blame.
Peace.... for blessed are the peacemakers.
I don’t know for sure if the calls are real or fake, but trying to overturn an election just because you don’t like the winner can earn you a lot of scorn and derision in some corners, and it’s well deserved. Democrats stupidly think there will be no repercussions from this bs. They’ll get their asses handed to them in 2018.
Just for the record, there is a difference between peacemaker and appeaser, although the previous administration did try to blur the distinction as many people with their ideology did in the past. The efforts of the latter always result in war.
I don’t doubt that he has been threatened, if he says he has been threatened, he has. But what he is not telling is that the callers were all Democrat Party plants. I do not believe that a single Conservative or Republican has called him and threatened him.
Of course, he could have gotten a phone call from someone telling him “I’ll pray for you, Mr. Green”, and turned around and said, “Someone just threatened to lynch me!”
