The 77-year-old state representative said he is introducing impeachment articles against Donald Trump after the president revealed his plan for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. and injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America,” Green said. “I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip,” Trump said in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We’ll own it … We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal … the Riviera of the Middle East.”
For those keeping score, Donald Trump is the only president who has ever been impeached twice.
Trump’s first impeachment followed a formal House inquiry that found Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid, and had then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony.
