Green with envy

To the editor:

Coretta Scott King accurately observed that “Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”

U.S. Representative Al Green, a Texas Democrat, announced his intention to file impeachment articles against President Trump, following Democratic protests against him. This is the same Green who was recently censured for interrupting Trump’s speech in Congress. It appears that he may have a hero complex, fueled by an excessive desire for Democratic recognition.

Let us consider the potential consequences of impeachment. If Democrats were to gain sufficient Senate seats, they could potentially remove Trump from office. However, they would face significant repercussions at the ballot box for undermining democracy.

As Thomas Jefferson wisely remarked, “Democracy rests on an educated electorate.”
