The House of Representatives today delivered a massive blow to the Democrat-led effort to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
The move was sponsored by left-wing Texas Democrat Rep. Al Green, a nut job who has repeatedly tried to force votes on impeachment proceedings. None of his past efforts have gone anywhere and today’s move was no different than his past failures.
For the December 6 vote, 364 Congressmen voted against the measure and a mere 58 — all Democrats — voted in favor. 4 voted present. This is a massive failure.
Green did his best to gin up fear and hate, though. In a dramatic speech on the floor ahead of the vote, Green called Trump “unfit” for office and accused him of “high misdemeanors.”
The vote was symbolic and was sure to fail, regardless. Still, it put some lawmakers in competitive districts in a tough spot by forcing them on the record about impeachment.
