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.

I do. I wan them to impeach Trump. So far the charges and the witnesses they have used to embarrass Trump have all backfired. Plus Trump has the right to discovery. No waiting on IG reports or FBI stalling. Plus he gets to call witnesses....the deep state kind. Hillary, Comey, Obama. Could be crushing to the DNC! Even the media won’t be able to save them because they will be implicated. Time to give them what they want, and Nadler and Green are stupid enough to fall for this rope a dope
At least he is honest and that it is not about an actual crime, rather a blatant attempt to unethically influence a presidential election.
Al Green, to call you a criminal is a compliment. No derogatory terms exist in the English language sufficient to describe you.
[impeachment for what?]
Don’t be askin’ a logical question like that!!!
Das raciss!!!!
40 percent believe that Al Green is a baby-raping pedophile.
At last one of them is being honest. Impeachment is just a tool for political use. Not for removal from office which they know they can’t do, but as a means of trying to keep him from winning a 2nd term.
They’ll never impeach because his campaign contributions would go absolutely through the roof. The democrats just want to throw mud - hoping something sticks from now until election day
I think his fundraising would increase ten-fold if they impeached him such that he’d raise 4 or 5 billion dollars.
“Rep. Al Green wants Trump impeached to help shrink president’s 2020 donor list”
actually, i think Al is onto something here: I’m pretty sure there’s a clause in the U.S. Constitution somewhere that states that it’s illegal to donate to a President who’s been impeached by the House ...
“I think his fundraising would increase ten-fold if they impeached him such that he’d raise 4 or 5 billion dollars.”
agreed. and Al Green is a complete moron to believe otherwise ...
For the DemonCRAPs, the ends justifies the means. They are the old Soviet Union.
Al Green is stupid enough to get thrown out of Congress for saying impeachment for donor suppression. Is there nothing they can say to get a boot?
Alas, the lack of a “Like” button strikes again...
Green is a retarded mental midget. I wonder who he got to do the math for him.
Don’t let that stupid so-called “poll” get to you.
It’s a Quinnipiac poll. Every election cycle their polls are light years wrong...so wrong it’s not even funny.
If you threw darts at a dart board you would get a more accurate poll than Quinnipiac.
Just what do you call this? To use impeachment as a crass and anti-democratic political tool, is par for the course for the Democrat Party. This is really heading like a runaway freight train to disaster, and idiots like this “” (not sure what to call him) are being deliberately used to try and get this to happen. There is only one solution, a 49 state Trump landslide in 2020.
Insane Al Green is it against the red flag law concerning mental illness dot-dot-dot gee I wonder why!
Why would I listen to someone who looks and sounds like an escapee from “The Island of Doctor Moreau”?
I guess Al Green wants democrats to interfere in the 2020 elections. I wasn’t aware Al was Russian.
