He said in his 30 November speech: “I refuse to stand idly by as a billionaire bigot does irreparable harm to my country. A billionaire bigot who tolerates the KKK, but won’t tolerate Islam. A billionaire bigot who tolerates anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, xenophobia and homophobia.”
Mr Green introduced a “privileged” bill on the House floor, meaning it requires action from other members within two legislative days.
Experts have said the bill is likely to fail given the Republican majority in the lower chamber, but there are also several Democrats who have said the chaos of a premature impeachment would signal to the country an unwillingness to pursue bipartisan solutions.
In October Mr Green said the articles of impeachment were, in his estimation, Mr Trump’s "fuelling an alt-right hate machine,” in reference to Mr Trump’s comments about the violent protests inAugust in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The only ones I see rioting and protesting are "privileged" whiny lib-rullz. What evidence, exactly, does this Mr. Green have to substantiate his claims about the President? Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not a Trumpet, but come on... aren't there actual issues facing the country aside from the wailing and gnashing of teeth by all these anti-Trump folks?

It would be great if they actually removed Trump for "Hate Speech". There would be a good chance of an armed rebellion in the US.

>A billionaire bigot who tolerates the KKK, but won’t tolerate Islam. Islam has objectively done more damage to the United States of America, and the rest of the world, than the KKK ever has.

This. I don't recall the KKK (read- FBI) attempting to establish a caliphate anywhere.
