Rep. Al Green rips slams committee over impeachment experts: 'not one person of color'

A Texas congressman slammed his fellow Democrats Wednesday after “not one person of color” was called as an expert to testify during the first day of impeachment hearings conducted by the House Judiciary Committee.

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, rebuked his colleagues in a speech on the House floor before the committee hearing began. Three legal scholars later testified at the request of Democrats in the first Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry hearing. Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, was the sole witness called by the GOP.

“I rise because I love my country, but I also rise today with heartfelt regrets. It hurts my heart, Mr. Speaker, to see the Judiciary Committee hearing experts on the topic of impeachment — one of the seminal issues of this Congress — hearing experts... and not one person of color among the experts,” Green told the House floor.

Its gotten so bad the Party has been hemorrhaging black support. And now Democrats have lost Al Green!

How much worse can it get for them?

Who who this jackass put up as a ‘witness’? Sharpton? Hussein? He needs to name names.

Democrats accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of making Al Green slam it as just another honky stunt.

Hilarious coming from the folks who’ve accused Trump of racism.

These people have become everything they’ve accused him of. Talk about real abuse of power.

And we need to witness their penultimate demonstration of it. Geez.

They should have brought Obama in as an expert. That would have been a good laugh isn’t Obama a constitutional professor in Chicago?

Now that Elijah Cummings has gone to his reward, another slave of the Democrat party has stepped up to fill his shoes.

How can Al Green say that without knowing how the professors identify?

And what is white man Al Green doing, appropriating black culture?

I’ve been wondering about that too. Since the witnesses are making it all up anyway, why not have a cast of characters that have the forced diversity of a blue ribbon panel?

Al Green probably wanted Jonathan Turley replaced with a person of color. Maybe they should have had Mark Levin on there with a dark tan. Mark is a Constitutional law scholar.

You would have thought with all these fake witnesses they could have managed to hire some fake people of color

I think Al Green should go back to his singing career. LOL
