House Democrat Moves To Impeach Trump Over ‘Dastardly Deeds’

It took just over two weeks after Inauguration Day for House Democrats to begin a push to impeach President Donald Trump in his second administration.

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) announced Wednesday that he was introducing articles of impeachment, citing the prospect of “ethnic cleansing” after Trump proposed the United States take over Gaza.

“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green said. “I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

During a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump proposed that the United States would take over the Gaza Strip.

“We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out,” Trump said.

He added the project would “create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job, do something different.”

As reported by The Daily Wire, Trump mentioned earlier on Tuesday during an Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu that he wanted to have the entire population of Gaza relocated — not killed.

“We’re talking about probably 1.7 million people,” Trump told reporters. “I think they’ll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day.”

The Gaza Strip has been mired in a conflict between Israel and Hamas ever since the October 7 terror attack of 2023. Both sides reached a hostage-and-ceasefire deal earlier this month.

Green is no stranger to proposing articles of impeachment against Trump. The congressman from the Houston area did so multiple times during Trump’s first term but to no avail.

However, Trump did get impeached twice, just not on articles brought by Green. One dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate.

Green’s latest bid to impeach Trump will likely be dismissed like those in the past, as the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans who are largely aligned with the president.

“Nobody cares,” Elon Musk, who is leading cost-cutting efforts in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said in response to a video of Green posted to X.
