Rep. said Wednesday that his bill to introduce articles of impeachment against Wednesday is a chance for Democrats to "Punish" the president for a series of tweets against freshmen Democratic congresswoman that many said were racist.
The Texas Democrat told C-SPAN that his bill should be seen as a natural follow-up to yesterday's successful vote in the House to condemn Trump over his tweets targeting Reps.,, and.
"Yesterday there was a vote of condemnation. The president was condemned. Today, we'll have a vote to punish," Green said.
"We have to punish the president, and impeachment is the means by which he can be punished," he continued.
"The President was condemned, today we'll have a vote to punish We have to punish the President & impeachment is the means by which he can be punished We ought to impeach this President for his bigotry" pic.
Green has attempted to introduce articles of impeachment numerous times against the president in recent months, an effort that has grown to be supported by dozens of House Democrats but has failed to gain support from party leadership including Speaker.
"To condemn a racist president is not enough, we must impeach him. This will be a defining vote. The world is watching, and history will judge us all," Green said in a statement on Tuesday, while adding that this vote was not related to possible instances of obstruction of justice outlined in 's special counsel investigation.
