Texas congressman Al Green (D) introduced articles of impeachment against the President on Wednesday, delivering a fiery anti-Trump speech on the House floor. He then, pathetically, watched the resolution expire without so much as a whimper.
Green boasted that he introduced the articles of impeachment because he felt the President’s defense of the National Anthem was racist … or something.

In a congressional forum, the Democrat railed against Trump’s take on NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem, pounding the podium and announcing, “I rise to say to the world that this is not what America is all about.”

Apparently he felt that Trump’s pro-American stance amounted to a high crime and misdemeanor.
Al Green wants to impeach Trump over… his NFL comments? Which are neither a high crime nor a misdemeanor? https://t.co/efduY1AH99

Green had originally sought to introduce his articles last week, but was delayed due to the tragedy in Las Vegas.
In a speech on the House floor Wednesday, he moved forward.
The congressman declared, “Today, I rise to use the constitutionally prescribed political process of impeachment to speak truth to the most powerful man on earth, the president of the United States of America.”
TUNE IN RIGHT NOW — Rep. AL GREEN, a Texas Democrat, is on the House floor, introducing an impeachment resolution.

Green didn’t address any crimes the President may have committed, rather he went with the bizarre claim that Trump embraced the concept of ‘Hitler was right.’
Um … what?!
Did I miss that memo? I don’t recall Trump ever saying or alluding to such a thing.
“The public has been led to believe that a president must commit a crime to be impeached, which is not true,” Green said. “If any president persisted with the lie that ‘Hitler was right,’ he would be, and should be, impeached not for a crime, but for betraying his trust as president.”

That is tragically false, not just in concept, but in the relaying of facts and information.
Rep. Al Green has filed articles of impeachment😂😂.
Someone should tell him in order to impeach you need a crime and evidence.

Have no fear, Trump supporters. Not only is Green an advocate for wild theories on impeachment, but he’s also rabidly incompetent.
After all the fire and fury delivered during his speech on the House floor … the articles of impeachment immediately expired before he called for a vote.
“The Texas congressman’s maneuver was short-lived,” Fox News reported. “While Green could have forced a vote as early as Wednesday, he opted not to take further action and the articles effectively expired.”
Cue the sad trombone.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders accurately described the effort using a one-word hashtag – “Pathetic.”
Dems response to historic stock market rally, 1m+ new jobs & middle class tax cut agenda under @POTUS. #OutofTouch #Pathetic https://t.co/m2fUK21KCd

Pathetic indeed. But then, that sums up the entire Democrat Party at this stage, doesn’t it?

If Trump is innocent let him testify under oath. President Trump has made 1,318 false or misleading claims over 263 days — averaging 5 a day.

The Dems get nothing but backfires from every idiotic word out of their mouths.
Is Missa Green attempting to show he constituents dat he be bad ?
Maybe his skills lean more toward a bus driver’s job.
Pathetic is an understatement. I’m fm TX and am ashamed to have to associate Al Green with our state. How he got elected is a pure mystery. My God, how can anyone be so freaking stupid and hold such an important office. I call shame on Ryan for letting him get on the floor and present such ridiculousness. Talk about a waste of time and energy.

“Rep. Al Green’s Attempt to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Trump Fails Spectacularly”
Isn’t Al Green’s middle name “Failure”?
A ghetto democrat, how fitting to be that stupid.
Confused Democrat says, “If any president persisted with the lie that ‘Hitler was right,’ he would be, and should be, impeached not for a crime, but for betraying his trust as president.”
Unconfused citizen replies: If anyone, politician or not, believes what Confused Democrat said, he (or she) should seek medical help immediately.
Yes the whole late democrat party was pathetic and as they are trying to revive themselves they prove to be even more pathetic.,There is not future for them, I’m happy to say.
No, there’s something about Texas, too. Sheila Jackson-Lee is from there, and I don’t think anyone is as stupid or MEAN as she is.

If the stock market was tanking, I could see more of those fat cats crying for impeachment. But the stock market is at an all time high, so no one voted or have nothing to do with it. You know all those idiots are closely tied to the stock market, that’s how they’ve made millions just sitting on their asses.
