Rep. Al Green wants Trump impeached to help shrink president's 2020 donor list
Fox News ^ | August 11, 2019 | Nick Givas

Anti-Trump Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, said House Democrats should impeach the president to curb his political donor list and stifle his campaign's fundraising efforts ahead of 2020.

Green appeared on MSNBC's "Weekends with Alex Witt" on Sunday and cited a poll claiming 51 percent of voters saw Trump as racist. He also said that even if Trump isn't convicted in the Senate, the process would serve to hurt his campaign coffers.

"Fifty-one percent of the American public believes that the president is a racist," he said. "Fifty-one percent... It is one thing to want to defeat the president at the polls, but it’s another thing to understand that we have to impeach the philosophy that he’s perpetrating upon society. If we impeach the philosophy, we take on a broader... threat to society than just defeating him at the polls."

In a Quinnipiac poll released late last month, 51 percent of voters said President Trump was racist while 45 percent said he was not.

Al Green, to call you a criminal is a compliment. No derogatory terms exist in the English language sufficient to describe you.

Look, Pal, you need to see a doctor about that hollowed out space between your ears. Your lack of brains has become noticeable to all.

Green isn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. The only way to fix it is to unplug him.

ImVho, impeaching DJT will GUARANTEE his reelection without question.

Dear Pastor Green: PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE get the President impeached & we can thereafter DESTROY the DIMocRATS Party, as a competitive political party for a generation & perhaps for forevermore.

Yours, TMN78247

stupid idea

impeachment for what? (he doesn’t even have a jaywalking ticket from 1969 against Trump)

so that if he really could try impeachment, it would triple or quadruple the donations to PDJT!

(not that PDJT needs any donations anyway, he could finance his campaign out of his petty cash fund, ha!)

You would think Al Green couldn’t possibly be dumber than he looks. But he is.

Can you sue the rat members of Congress for abuse of process? This rat just admitted the impeachment thing is a pretext.

If 51 percent of the country thinks Trump is a racist, then we have reached an official watershed moment where the intelligence level of an average American person is at retardation level of mental capacity. Not a good sign. I guess that’s what Idiocracy was based on.

Impeachment could actually help the fundraising. It could backfire on him.

But more importantly, you can’t impeach a president to impede fundraising. Where do you find a desire to hurt fundraising, within the constitutional requirement of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” for impeachment??

So Al, you want to impeach a sitting president because you admittedly want to harm his political chances of getting re-elected. Because its a political move by the socialist democrats. Because you want to use impeachmet as a political weapon against an opposition candidate of the democrats. Because its a democrat political tactic, Al?

Wow. I do not think he knew what he was admitting here.
Gotta be grateful they really are quite stupid.

No, its just one particular poll by a particular group. These libtard polls always poll more demtards than republicans. They have a predetermined desire to get certain results. They do a poll to create a fake news piece to report on.

I don’t want President Trump impeached, but only because that would further damage the legitimacy of our government. We don’t need to take yet another step toward a bloody second civil war. However, impeachment would galvanize decent American voters better than even President Trump’s speeches to packed stadiums. The “impeachment” mantra without associated charges is so obviously illegitimate that it would be the best election motivator in history.

Why do you want him impeached? You went to great pains to explain [your words,]”But only because...... Please explain at least one reason you want him impeached. If only to balance things out. Evidently, you have a hard on for him for some reason. But that is your right and privilege. Again, please name and elaborate on one reason you would like to see him impeached. Thank you.
