NAACP Calls for Donald Trump’s Impeachment

The NAACP is calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment following a speech made by a stalwart of the effort at the group’s annual convention Tuesday.  “We have in the White House a person who is ruthless and lawless, and I am a person who believes that such a person should not occupy the White House in the United States of America,” Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, told the crowd at the civil rights group’s gathering in Detroit.Derrick Johnson, NAACP CEO and president, announced via Twitter that the organization’s national delegation voted unanimously in favor of a resolution to “initiate the Articles of Impeachment for Donald J. Trump.” The resolution was voted on during the convention.“The pattern of Trump’s misconduct is unmistakable and has proven time and time again, that he is unfit to serve as the president of this country,” said Johnson. The group cites numerous reasons for impeaching the president, including “his attempts to curtail the scope of Robert Mueller’s Investigation” and “his numerous attempts to avert the Supreme Court’s decision to not add in the citizenship question to the 2020 Census.”
