Rep. Al Green Fires Back at Scarborough for Saying Dems Who Talk Impeachment Should Have ‘Funds Pulled’

EXCERPT:

GREEN: "'The Hill' goes on to say, 'Any Democrat mentioning the word impeachment on the campaign trail should have their campaign funds pulled by the Democratic Party.' This is what was tweeted by the host of 'Morning Joe.' I defend 'The Hill's right to print it and I defend the right of 'Morning Joe' host to say what he said. And I hope people will defend and respect my right to say what I'm about to say. I will not be intimidated. I want the host to know, if those who threatened my life couldn’t intimidate me, he will not. I want the host to know that I spoke about impeachment just this weekend that passed and I am looking to future engagements to speak about impeachment. And I will bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives again if conditions require it. I am not afraid. I have no fear of these people who would have me abrogate my constitutional rights. I will stand and defend them and I will exercise my rights. The truth is this — we all have a duty to speak up and speak out and stand up. That’s what I will do."
