Poor Al Green. All that lefty scream-mongering at the congressional impeachment hearings and no minorities to show for it.
According to Fox News, the Texas Democrat actually said this:
A Texas congressman slammed his fellow Democrats Wednesday after “not one person of color” was called as an expert to testify during the first day of impeachment hearings conducted by the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, rebuked his colleagues in a speech on the House floor before the committee hearing began. Three legal scholars later testified at the request of Democrats in the first Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry hearing. Jonathan Turley, a professor

One of these cowards could simply point out that there is no requirement or obligation to go lefty professor shopping with a racial quota.

if he's looking for a person of color to testify, they could always call on that noted Native American legal scholar, Elizabeth Warren. Or if she's too busy, perhaps Alcee Hastings is available. Before becoming a member of the House, Hastings was a federal judge who was impeached and removed from his position for accepting bribes.

Probably couldn't find any deranged black 'experts' with TDS that wanted to smear their good names by testifying...

But they had that noted black genius, Sheila-Jackson Lee and a few others of her ilk, on the committee. They might not have wanted to showcase too much stupidity at one time.

I entirely disagree with the article. This guy is the clairvoyant that lead the Dem party towards impeachment. Until Al pushed the Dems with 3 impeachment attempts, Democrats nay dare to go down the impeachment path. Al's consequence free stunt showed Dems that Impeachment was a great idea and free of any negative consequences. He is the true leader of the Impeachment revolution.

Someone needs to give Rep. Green a math lesson.
AA population = 13%
Number of Dem-called "legal scholars" = 3
3 x 13% = 0.39
0.39 rounds to zero
I guess they could have called one more "legal scholar" and then rounded up?

Al, if I was you, I'd keep quiet. Right now, if I were a "person of color," I'd take it as a compliment that none of us showed up to testify at that dog-and-pony show.

Poor Al Green. Looks as though he should still be swinging through trees with his prehensile arms… He officially started the impeachment thing with his own repeated trips to the House floor. Now he is mad that the experts didn’t include a black. How do you handle 13% of 3 persons, Al? That is what their percentage of the population is. Maybe one of them could do a DNA test and find some black back there. Would you be happier?

Mr. Green seems incapable of seeing beyond skin color. This is the definition of a racist.

Yes, Rep. Green, I too wondered why they didn’t call from that deep bench of black constitutional scholars.
On another note, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Green resembles the GEICO caveman.

It is all about race and the Dems are racist. Poor Al is just figuring this out?

Al Green says there are no people of color left running for the dem nomination. I guess that means the libs are racist, sexist, or Russia is to blame.
I am going to help you guys out...because that is just the kind of guy I am.
I think Tulsi Gabbard should be elevated to the top tear for the next debate.
She is a woman. (and a lot prettier than most democratic women.)
She is from Hawaii. (like Obama)
She was in the military. (not a big plus in democrat circles...but good to know.)
With Kamala gone...no more infighting.
There you have it...you can thank me later.

'Person of color' I guess he means negro, and expert constitutional scholar doesn't fit into the same sentence.
Look in the mirror Al you are a doofus and a Person of color just might sound and look like you. That's why you idiot so why would you want to share that with stupid, dumb, white folks? Shut up and sit down. Be careful what you wish for.

It is sad that the public faces of Negroes in the US are the two Al's (Sharpton and Green), Sheila Jackson-Lee, and Mad Maxine. They are why many are prejudiced against Negroes.
