[FOX] One of the most vocal pro-impeachment Democratic voices on Capitol Hill said the "genesis" of President Trump's impeachment began long before the Ukraine scandal.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, one of the first lawmakers to push for Trump's impeachment, appeared on MSNBC on Monday and was confronted about the president, and how his allies have weaponized Green's outspokenness against Democrats.
"Political expediency and insincerity -- those are two charges that have been leveled against Democrats during this entire affair, particularly since September when the formal impeachment inquiry started, and you play a starring role in those charges," MSNBC host Chris Hayes said to Green.
"The argument goes like this of House Republicans and Trump and his allies: the Democrats wanted to impeach Donald Trump from day one, they cast about looking for a set of facts that they could plausibly use to do it, and all of it was pretextual and reverse-engineered to get to this point, and Exhibit One: Congressman Al Green, who [has] been calling for the man's impeachment for two years now," Hayes said. "What's your response to that charge?"
Green didn't deny the charge being made against him.
