Green: Democrats risk demoralizing base if they don't impeach Trump
By Cristina Marcos - 09/23/19 03:41 PM EDT
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), one of the biggest proponents in Congress of impeaching President Trump, warned on Monday that Democrats could risk demoralizing their supporters in next year's elections if they don't move forward with impeachment.
Green’s comments came as Democrats are under increasing pressure to move forward with impeachment in light of a recent intelligence community whistleblower report apparently regarding a conversation Trump had with the president of Ukraine. Trump acknowledged he had brought up corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential 2020 rival, in a phone call with Ukraine’s leader but said the conversation was proper.
"If we don’t do this rather quickly, the public is going to turn on us. And we are going to find that those who went to the polls and gave us this great majority are going to be very disappointed. They are not going to side with us when we did not side with them," Green said at a rally with By the People, activists advocating for impeachment on Capitol Hill.
