Trump threatened with THIRD impeachment by widely mocked liberal as his colleagues roll their eyes

Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green vowed to impeach President Donald Trump on Monday
Texas Democrat Rep. Al Green has, once again, promised to impeach President Donald Trump, likely making him the most-impeach happy U.S. lawmaker to ever live.
The
77-year-old Green has formally tried to impeach Trump at least five
times from 2017 until now, and he said he's planning on doing it again,
vowing a sixth attempt on Monday. There are no comparisons in modern
U.S. history, as no lawmaker has filed so many impeachment articles
against any individual president.
Trump has been twice impeached by the U.S. House but was acquitted by the U.S. Senate in both instances.
'There are no circumstances that will
prevent me from continuing to challenge the bigotry emanating from the
presidency,' Green said at an event in Illinois. 'I will not stop. And I promise you, this President, he's going to be brought down.'
'He
has to be brought down,' the veteran lawmaker continued. 'I'm talking
about politically, we will bring him down. He will be impeached again.'
The Democrat's announcement indicates that once Congress returns from the August recess that he may introduce a formal resolution to impeach Trump.
But without control of the lower chamber, the Democrat's impeachment pursuit won't have legs.
If
Green makes good on his pledge, it would be the third time he's moved
to impeach Trump this year. These are in addition to his three
previously failed attempts to impeach the Republican during his first
term in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Green filed articles in May citing Trump
as a threat to democracy, and in June, he filed articles against the
president for bombing nuclear sites in Iran. Few of his colleagues
joined his bandwagon to nowhere.
The effort over Iran outraged many Democrats, with one privately venting to Axios that the effort was 'a completely unserious and selfish move.'
Even
veteran party bosses like Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former
Speaker Nancy Pelosi voted against the Iran impeachment. Every
impeachment effort that Green has put forward to remove Trump has been voted down by Democrats.
A
spokesperson for House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries did not
immediately respond to the Daily Mail's questions about Green's latest
bid to remove Trump.
Green has served a
deep blue portion of Houston for 20 years, but that district is
threatened now that Republican legislators in Texas are remaking the congressional boundaries in the state ahead of schedule.
To
stop the Texas legislator from redistricting, Democrats in the
statehouse fled to liberal strongholds across the country, primarily to
Illinois, where a defiant Green gave a speech Monday promising to try and oust Trump again.
There
have been certain lawmakers who have featured prominently as
antagonists to presidents, like how Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Adam Schiff
had big roles during more serious movement to remove Trump during his
first term.
But Green stands alone in the number of formal attempts he has put forward to impeach Trump.
In fact, Green's fourth formally introduced article of impeachment hasn't even been taken up.

Green
earned additional notoriety earlier this year when he heckled and
interrupted the president during his address to Congress.
During Trump's early March speech, Green stood up and yelled at the president while waving his cane in the air.
The
elderly lawmaker told the president he had no 'mandate' and was quickly
booed by Republicans before House Speaker Mike Johnson instructed the
Sergeant-at-Arms to remove the unruly Democrat.
The president has taken notice of his Democratic detractor.
'Nobody takes him seriously,' Trump said of Green to Fox News Digital shortly after the interrupted speech. 'He is an embarrassment to Congress but a much bigger embarrassment to the Democrats.'
The
president said Green 'should be forced to pass an IQ test because he is
a low IQ individual, and we don't need low IQ individuals in Congress.'
In the interview, Trump called on Green to be censured, and he ultimately was, with some Democrats siding with Republicans to shame the viciously anti-Trump lawmaker.
The rare and distinctly lamentable honor seemingly has not thrown Green off the scent for Trump's removal, however.
Al Green is a low-rent no-style Adam Clayton Powell.
