Rep. Al Green (D-TX) attempted to justify his efforts to impeach President Donald Trump for the third time by implying the president may carry out a military coup with tanks “rolling down the streets of American cities.”
Green sparked controversy in March and was censured by Congress after he waved his cane and yelled at Trump during the president’s joint address to legislators. The Texas lawmaker’s latest comments to Newsweek defy warnings from Democratic colleagues to step back from provocative actions and inflammatory impeachment talk and instead focus on policy.
"You don't wait [to start impeachment efforts] until tanks are rolling down the streets of American cities," Green told the outlet. "It's too late then. You don't wait until you have what everybody will recognize as a constitutional crisis, because that can be the forerunner to tanks moving down the streets of American cities.”
“We have this unique opportunity to use impeachment as a deterrent to stop him and prevent what could become more than we have seen in this country in terms of power emanating from a presidency that is out of control,” he added.
