One of the most vocal pro-impeachment Democratic voices on Capitol Hill said the “genesis” of President Trump’s impeachment began long before the Ukraine scandal.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, one of the first lawmakers to push for Trump’s impeachment, appeared on MSNBC on Monday and was confronted about the president, and how his allies have weaponized Green’s outspokenness against Democrats. […]
“The argument goes like this of House Republicans and Trump and his allies: the Democrats wanted to impeach Donald Trump from day one, they cast about looking for a set of facts that they could plausibly use to do it, and all of it was pretextual and reverse-engineered to get to this point, and Exhibit One: Congressman Al Green, who [has] been calling for the man’s impeachment for two years now,” (Chris) Hayes said. “What’s your response to that charge?”
Green didn’t deny the charge being made against him.
“Well, the genesis of impeachment, to be very candid with you, was when the president was running for office and he had members of his own party to talk about his unfitness to hold office,” Green told Hayes, later citing rhetoric from Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., from the 2016 election. “So the president didn’t have the luxury of persons from his party having been on his side as it were throughout this entire ordeal.” …

Thanks, Al. Way to blow your own case, moron.
Obstruction of Just-Us
By winning he committed an act worthy of impeachment to the mind of many Democrats.
The seriousness of the charges is now if there’s a Republican to charge at all ... but of course no charge is serious enough if the accused is a powerful Ledtist.
See my tagline....
Al Green, a particularly vile reprobate, too dumb to realize that he is the shit sandwich at the banquet.
Meet the enemy, ladies and gentlemen.
Is that like 2008 when Democrat Hillary Clinton was talking about Democrat Barack Obama's birth certificate and his unfitness to hold office?
One of the leaders of the “objective” and “fair” process that impeached him.
I hope he joins Elija the wooden Indian and John Lewis and punches a ticket to hell.
Plus, there’s Nancy Pelosi on video saying, “Donald Trump is NOT going to be President. You can take that to the bank.”
These creeps have been colluding to interfere in our elections since before 2016
Al Green should stick to singing.
What?! Not THAT Al Green?
Never mind....
So he admits an innocent man was called guilty of impeachable crimes before any such crimes were possible—as in not yet in office.
That is a crime in itself, if not in the law books at least morally.
Prejudice and bias against an innocent man. Sounds like what the phony black leaders were supposedly having civil rights marches for, doesn’t it.
Precisely. He is admitting that the DemonRats are committing a crime.
Living proof of Darwin’s theory.
C’mon, don’t compare Hank Williams’ Kaw-Liga to the Baltimore reprobate (we still don’t know how he died).
Who cares what that Geico caveman thinks?
They’ve been working on it that long and and that’s all they could come up with? LMAO!
