Democrat Snaps On House Floor, Launches Trump Articles
**Rep. Al Green Launches New Trump Impeachment Push**
Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green has reignited his impeachment efforts against former President Donald Trump, marking his first such move in 2025. Green, who led three impeachment attempts during Trump’s presidency, returned to the House floor with a forceful condemnation of Trump’s recent comments on Gaza.
**Green Blasts Trump’s Gaza Remarks**
In an emotional speech, Green accused Trump of joking about what he called “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. “Ethnic cleansing is no laughing matter, especially when it comes from a U.S. president,” Green declared, linking Trump’s rhetoric to broader concerns over human rights violations.
**Sharp Criticism of Netanyahu**
The congressman also targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that given Jewish history, Netanyahu should be “ashamed” for not condemning Trump’s statements. “Knowing his people’s suffering, how can he stay silent?” Green questioned.
**Warning on Presidential Influence**
Green stressed the global impact of a U.S. president’s words, stating, “The world’s most powerful leader must choose his words carefully.” He expressed dismay over what he sees as the normalization of divisive rhetoric from high office.
**A Moral Stand Against Injustice**
Repeating the phrase, “And still I rise, Mr. Speaker,” Green framed his impeachment push as a fight against complicity. He argued that failing to challenge inflammatory language enables injustice, particularly in international conflicts.
**Uncertain Political Future**
While Green’s latest impeachment bid faces long odds, it has revived debates over presidential accountability in foreign policy. His remarks highlight deepening divisions over U.S. involvement in the Israel-Gaza war.
**Broader Implications**
The move reflects escalating tensions in U.S. politics regarding leadership’s role in global human rights issues. Whether or not the effort advances, Green’s stance ensures continued scrutiny of Trump’s influence on international discourse.
