Al Green to force impeachment vote following incendiary Trump tweets
The Hill ^ | July 15th, 2019 | By Juliegrace Brufke

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.”

Impeach Trump for telling America haters to go back to their home country, fix things there and come back? Sounds plausible to me.

You gotta give the DIM-O-Crats extra credit for the imaginative idiocy of what they think constitutes constitutional “high crimes and misdeameanors.”

“There are many, many brilliant black people.

Unfortunately, none of them are in Congress.”

The dems only hire black people with IQs under 70. The perfect puppets. They even put them in their own caucus so they dont get in the way of real business. They even create black districts to ensure they get elected. Conservative blacks dont need special districts to get elected. Conservatives will crawl over broken glass to vote for a real conservative. I just wish more would run, but there is a ginormous social cost to them from dhimmicrats and even their own families if they dare.

Green, besides being a racist, Marxist ignoramus, is in the running for Mr. Jiffy Lube Hair Style winner of 2019.

Nobody light a match near him. He might go “Up in Smoke”.

On second thought, where the hell is my Zippo? Must have left it in Nam, damn it!! (sarc but this man is weird with two capital “WWs”). Been out in the Painted Desert without a hate tool long? It’s a shame that the buzzards didn’t get him when they had the chance.
