Texas Dem launches first Trump impeachment articles over Gaza

Texas Dem launches first Trump impeachment articles over Gaza

Democratic Rep. Al Green, the Houston, Texas, congressman who made three attempts to impeach President Donald Trump during his first term, initiated his first impeachment effort in 2025.

Green rose to address the House on Wednesday and said "ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the President of the United States."

"And [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] should be ashamed, knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said."

Green went on to say his formal impeachment articles are for "dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done."

REP. AL GREEN SAYS PRESIDENT IS 'NO BETTER THAN' KKK IN WAKE OF 'LYNCHING' TWEET

Trump had announced Tuesday the U.S. would "take over" war-torn Gaza and allow Palestinians to relocate while it is being essentially repaired.

"I also rise to say that the impeachment movement is going to be a grass up movement, not a top down… I did it before, I laid the foundation for impeachment, and it was done. Nobody knows more about it than I," Green went on.

"And I know that it time for us to lay the foundation again. On some issues, it is better to stand alone than not stand at all on this issue. I stand alone. But I stand for justice."

Other Democrats appeared lukewarm to Green's current bid.

"It's not a focus of our caucus," said House Democratic Caucus Chair Peter Aguilar, D-Calif. 

Green's previous attempts were separate from those successful impeachments forwarded by now-California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and others - which related to Trump's 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the 2021 Capitol riot.

One Green resolution centered on 2019 Trump tweets deriding members of the left-wing Squad, wherein the president remarked "they [should] go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing at the time of one of Green's previous impeachment attempts, Republican staff posted a banner of the Democrat's own words:

"I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected," Green had said.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins - then the panel's ranking member - listed Green's comments as one of several in remarks criticizing Democrats for trying to usurp the power of the voting booth through political maneuvering.

"For Democrats, it has been and will always be, to paraphrase Lewis Carroll: 'Sentence first, verdict later,'" Collins said at the time.

During the Obama administration, the late Rep. Walter Jones Jr., R-N.C., similarly repeatedly called for President Barack Obama's impeachment over issues ranging from the use of drones to troop casualties in Syria.

Fox News Digital reached out to Green's office and was told "it is a matter of time" when the articles would be filed.
