Democrat Rep. Al Green of Texas has said he’ll bring articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump within the next 30 days.
Green made the promise at a “Hands Off!” rally in Washington DC on Saturday.
“We need a Senate that will convict him this time, and I want you to know, from my heart, from my heart, I understand that he is a Goliath,” Green told the crowd.
“He is a Goliath. He has control of the generals in the military. He has control of the Justice Department. He has control of the Republican Party, but my friends, my friends, for every Goliath, there is a David.”
Green was, of course, referring to himself.
“And I want you to know, Mr. President, this David is going to bring articles of impeachment against you within the next 30 days. Within the next 30 days, I’m bringing articles of impeachment. I’m coming for you. Mr. President, this David is coming for you.”
Green had already vowed to bring articles of impeachment against President Trump, claiming he doesn’t “deserve” to hold office.
On 5 February, in a speech on the House floor, Green said he would file articles of impeachment over Trump’s suggestion of taking control of the Gaza Strip.
“Injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America,” Green said.
At the rally in Washington on Saturday, Rep. Green reiterated that Gaza “is not going to become a resort.”
During Trump’s first term, Green led a number of hopeless attempts to have Trump impeached, including for referring to illegal immigrants as “invaders” who should “go back” to their countries of origin.
