Rep. Green (D-TX) Moves Forward With Trump Impeachment Articles
Representative Al Green (D-TX) is back with impeachment efforts. The congressman forced articles to the House floor on Thursday, where fellow colleagues voted on whether they wanted to impeach President Donald Trump or not. The majority of his colleagues voted no, and his proposal only snagged 58 “yes” votes.
Green says that he’s grateful to those who voted “yes,” because many people thought he’d be alone in his impeachment endeavor. He told Cheddar that he has nothing against those who didn’t vote in his favor, and he understands that impeachment is a process. “This is a step in the process,”
Green said. “I do believe that President Trump has committed high misdemeanors in office, and that as a result of his behavior, the harm that he’s doing to our society, he should be removed from office.”
Essex Mayor Calvin Kinney cited safety of the public and parade participants in refusing “parade participants geared toward the promotion of, or opposition to, the politically charged topic of gender and/or sexual identification/orientation."
