Al Green will force a vote on impeachment

And yet, SOMEbody has got to do SOMEthing.

Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.) said Monday that he would force a House vote this month on impeaching President Trump, saying “the American people are fed up” with his racism and bigotry.

Green, who filed articles of impeachment in 2017 and has threatened for months to try again, said things “came to a boiling point” with Trump’s weekend tweets as well as his handling of the crisis along the southern U.S. border.

Trump tweeted Sunday that a group of minority, liberal congresswomen should “go back” to their home countries. All four are U.S. citizens, and three of them were born in the United States. On Monday, Trump expressed no regrets about the statement when asked by reporters whether he was concerned that many people have called it racist.

“It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me."

He's unashamed of being a racist.

“To tolerate bigotry when you can do something about bigotry is to perpetuate it,” Green said in an interview Monday.

Amen. Tell it to Nancy.

“I will not tolerate the level of bigotry emanating from the president, especially in policy.”

And no one should.

The House voted 364 to 58 in December 2017, with Republicans in the majority, on a motion to table Green’s previous impeachment push. Green said Monday that things have changed: “I have had enough. I believe a good many of my colleagues have had enough. We’ll find out how many. And I think the American people are fed up with this behavior . . . This is the only place, by the way, where the president can be checked. There’s no other place.”
