(NationalSentinel) In case you missed it — and most Americans probably did — another Democrat has introduced articles of impeachment, again, against President Donald Trump, despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans, including Democrats, don’t support it.
“I’m here to indicate to the world that to tolerate bigotry is to perpetuate bigotry, especially when you can do something about it […] I’m a member of the House of Representatives, and I as a member can do something about it,” Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said during a live Facebook news conference.
“Each member of the House of Representatives can bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I’m here today to tell you, again, to bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I will do so by the end of this month.”
Green’s comments come after Democrats falsely accused the president of “bigotry” and “racism” over his tweeted comments to members of the House who frequently criticize our country and who have made blatant anti-Semitic statements several times in the past.
The president’s comments were believed to be directed towards Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), though he never mentioned them by name.
And he never mentioned race. Democrats are pretending that his comments inviting them to return to their countries of origin to ‘fix all the problems there before returning to America’ were somehow…racist…because the three congresswomen happen to be minorities.
Apparently, minority lawmakers are off-limits for criticism unless, of course, Democrats are criticizing Republican minorities.
As for Green, he couldn’t even contain his enthusiasm until the end of the month. He made his third attempt at forcing a vote on impeachment the following evening after the House passed the resolution condemning Trump, according to the Arizona Daily Sun:
Texas Rep. Al Green has introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, potentially forcing a vote this week on whether to remove the president from office.
The vote would come too soon for most Democrats, as a majority of the caucus appears to oppose impeachment, for now. But Green is seeking to capitalize on a growing sentiment for impeachment in the wake of Trump’s racist tweets over the weekend.
Green introduced the measure shortly after the House voted to condemn Trump for tweets that four Democratic congresswomen should “go back” to their home countries. All are Americans. Green said Tuesday that Trump is unfit for office and “enough is enough.”
As with his previous attempts, it’s not likely Green’s latest impeachment push will go anywhere. As we have noted:
Whether it has been President Donald Trump’s constant labeling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s never-ending probe as a “witch hunt,†the investigation’s lack of evidence implicating the president in any nefarious Russian “collusion†plot, or both, a majority of Americans side with the nation’s chief executive, according to a new survey.
Not only that, but a vast majority of Americans have no appetite for efforts by the far Left and some Democrats to impeach POTUS Trump.
A new USA Today/Suffolk poll showing that Trump’s “witch hunt†messaging is resonating with a growing number of voters, while the public’s already-shrinking appetite for impeachment has cratered as well.
USA Today/Suffolk poll:
– 50% now believe Trump a "witch hunt" target, including 54% of independents. Faith in Mueller falls.
– Impeachment support slides to 28 percent.
Investigation fatigue + overreach by Trump opponents could ultimately benefit him: https://t.co/ERnKwJKCAc

Support for impeaching the president fell even further in recent surveys, which is why, as we noted, Democrat calls for it in the House have mostly subsided — which coincides with the president’s rising popularity, not coincidentally:
A majority of Americans don’t want to impeach Trump. But a supermajority of Democratic voters do. That’s Pelosi’s problem. https://t.co/CuCC7QguMS

In every single poll referenced above, a majority of the American electorate opposes House Democrats triggering impeachment proceedings. Â The minority cohorts that take the opposite view range from 29 to 41 percent.
In a pair of presidential battleground states surveyed — Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — support for impeachment is underwater by double-digits, including by 36 points in the Badger state.
Rep. Green needs a new hobby.
UPDATE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is
UPDATE 2: As anticipated, the vote failed…miserably (332-95).

Al Green has been pushing impeachment proceedings against Trump since the beginning of Trump’s presidency. All of them have failed. It seems this is Al’s only job that he’s qualified for – push impeachment.
Al Green was recently asked by a reporter why he wants impeachment and Al’s response was to “stop Trump from running in 2020”.
There’s not a lot of rationale in that statement.
Hilariously delusional. Al Green is a lazy loafer who does nothing for his voters, just screams his hate for our President. That’s a job? He gets paid a salary for this?
What was the charge? Being president while white and republican?
Who the heck votes for these cretins? The average Democrat voter must be dumber than dog dirt. Really.
Ha ha ha! Good luck, Al…you jackass!
In private life, the non-government sector of America, Green and his ilk would be laughed at and deservedly so. But these enemies of America are members of the Congress of the United States. They have awesome power at their disposal and access to endless money. Your money. That ain’t funny, now is it.?!!
2020 – Last chance to put an end to the madness.
Tell Al Green if Trump is impeached DC could tip over.
Al Green is upset because the drug cartels will not pay him if the border doesn’t remain open for drugs and human trafficking. His only motive to impeach the President is to get the corruption back into high gear. Green is corrupt, and deserves to be in prison with his drug smuggling peers. Let’s make America great again.
If president Trump is impeached D.C. will burn
Al Green is another affirmative action fake, elected by and for racists to milk stupid Sam and keep the scab of slavery bleeding.
A new campaign is seeking to redefine the “outdated” term “white people” with the “people-first” term “people of light,” which is short for “people of light skin.” “People of light,” also known as “persons of light,” or “PoL” for short, say the term “white” is racist and outdated and they want everyone to use “people-first language.” The campaign got momentum after being shared on the internet message board 4chan, where users were encouraged to correct people using the term “white people” by asking they use PoL’s preferred term, “people of light.” A conceptual Wikipedia page was created to define the… Read more »
Sigh. Tex (d) al green has to prove, along with all the other dems, HOW? Treason? : NOPE Bribery? : NOPE high crimes and misdemeanors? : NOPE See, these are the only things one can qualify for impeachment. High crimes and midemeanors are not specifically defined in the Constitution, they are summarized in the Federalist papers, yet still not specifically defined. The only ones whom qualify on these terms are the squad of 4, and Pelosi…specifically Pelosi, for offering aid to an ‘invading’ force of illegals entering our country, and telling them how to avoid capture and deportation by ICE.… Read more »
Jon Dougherty . what was racist about what Trump tweeted? No journalist has given any reason why his comment was racist, other than the 4 members are female and ‘of color’!
Nothing — that was the point. All Trump did was essentially tell them to go fix their countries of origin; the Left went crazy and accused him of racism because the four lawmakers who took offense are ‘women of color.’ Hence, criticizing them at all is…”racist.” 😉 — JD
Al is taking important time from his other preoccupation, the sinking of Guam, to pursue these important issues. But the real question is, does Al ever bathe?
That greasy scumbag must be from Dallas or Houston, the twin anal pore nof Texas.
BREAKING NEWS
The news just came in that Al Green lost his impeachment bid. Lawmakers voted 332-95 against it. I guess now Al will have to sulk in his corner while he finishes his bowl of corn flakes.
[…] have to do is not be stark, raving lunatics. And they can’t do it. […]
Isn’t it about time for those in Congress to serve the peoples? The have wasted more than two years with this impeachment baloney, due the fact that they lost. They are daily wasting taxpayer money on this travesty. They would have served the nation better to just give our money back, rather than this rediculous displaying and waste. It is time that they serve us rather than pissing us off on a daily basis. We the people need to oust every stinking one of the people on their comity we have coming elections in which to do so for many.… Read more »
