Representative Al. Green of Houston, TX was the first member of the House to call for the impeachment of President Trump for obstruction of justice.  Since then, his office received a number of angry (and racist) phone calls, some of them threatening acts of terror, reports TYT Politics Contributor Eric Byler. Rep. Green and Byler met at the US Capitol to discuss the impeachment campaign and the public’s reaction. Of the threats, Rep. Green assured that they will be taken seriously to protect staff and constituents — but they will not deter or intimidate Rep. Al Green from moving forward with introducing an impeachment resolution.

We commend Rep. Al Green for his courage and patriotism, and we thank him for joining in this important cause of our time.

“I do admire greatly, what my friend is doing. He and his cohorts have given the American people a means by which they can participate in this process. It is a participatory democracy, and I encourage people to go online and to make your voices heard. This is a way for your to participate. Sign the petition. It will be the will of the American people that will drive the will of Congress. If the American people speak up and stand up, and have impeachment town hall meetings, you don’t have to wait on a congress person to have an impeachment town hall meeting, you can call one yourself.” — Rep. Al Green (TX-D, 9th District)
