Trump has been in office for more than two weeks and he is just now getting around to articles of impeachment? What a slacker. Question. Is Al Green the caveman from the commercials?
Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green said Wednesday he plans to bring articles of impeachment against President Trump after he suggested the U.S. should take over Gaza.
“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green said on the House floor. “I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeps proposed and dastardly deeds done.”
On Tuesday, as Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he floated the idea that the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip. He said Americans should be responsible for cleaning up and rebuilding the war-torn region, though he did not provide details about who would be able to live there.
These are some of Trump’s most extreme comments on the matter and come after the start of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire last month. There are nearly 2 million Palestinians who hope to have their own state.
Democrats, like Green, slammed the president for the remarks, calling the takeover idea “ethnic cleansing” and likened it to throwing a match on an already volatile situation.
“Ethnic cleansing is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world, when he has the ability to perfect what he says, ethnic cleansing in Gaza is no joke, and the Prime Minister of Israel should be ashamed knowing the history of his people,” Green said.
