Two Dozen Democrats Vote With Republicans To Say No to Impeachment…Again
KEY POINTS
- •On December 11, 2025, 23 House Democrats joined 214 Republicans to block Rep. Al Green's impeachment motion against Trump.
- •Green castigated Trump as 'an abuser of presidential power,' citing his November remarks threatening military disobedience as 'sedition.'
- •In recent weeks, Democrats filed impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and pushed for one against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
In a truly bipartisan game of congressional hot potato on December 11, 2025, 23 Democrats rashly joined 214 Republicans to decisively kill Rep. Al Green's impeachment motion against Trump, slamming the door on a floor speech where Trump was called an 'abuser of presidential power.' This circus happened as Green referenced Trump’s November meltdown shouting 'SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH' over Democrats encouraging military dissent (calm down, it’s not The Purge). Meanwhile, 47 Democrats played the ultimate political invisibility cloak, voting 'present,' with a few shifting like shape-shifters seconds before the vote closed. Not to be outdone, in the past 10 days, Dems have gleefully hurled impeachment motions at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and even Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem — because why stop at one with this impeachment buffet? Rep. James Walkinshaw pragmatically admitted Congress is the worst accountability venue, advising voters to prepare for 2026 ballots as the real showdown. It’s less impeachment and more political Jenga with a dash of bipartisan backstabbery.
