During a town hall meeting Saturday, Congressman Al Green played recordings of threatening voicemail messages left for him after he demanded the impeachment of President Donald Trump on the House floor earlier this week.

"You'll be hanging from a tree," one caller said.

The calls use graphic racial slurs, some calling Green the n-word. "You ain't going to impeach nobody. Try it and we will lynch all of you," the caller said.


On Wednesday, the Houston Democrat became the first member of Congress to call for Trump's impeachment from the House floor. The congressman said the firing of FBI Director James Comey was one of the reasons. Listen to the calls U.S. Rep. Al Green received

5. So bravely and brazenly stated

while hiding like a coward.

6. Such bold racist hate. Lynch him!

There is not now, nor has ever been a reason for us to reach out to them. They will never change.

7. Sounds like Radical Right Skin heads

Racist skinheads are among the most dangerous radical-right threats facing law enforcement today. The skinheads have joined the hooded Klansman as icons of hate. They threw their support behind trump and caused utter chaos in the rallies!

8. I will not feel proud of my country again until this sort of racist crawls back into the ooze

[Moostache]

9. Stop acting surprised...those recordings are merely unmasked GOP fans

They are saying exactly what the GOP policies do without using the words themselves. Voter ID laws? Redistricting to gerrymander entire states? "State's rights"?

The hoods are off and the phones are hot...nothing at all surprising

10. That last guy is drunk.

I think another one was definitely drinking. That's when these type of people usually get up the courage to make such calls. Hope they find out who they are.

11. FUCK those illiterate, inbred, racist assholes. If they want to take their fucking ku klux militias

and go toe to toe with the US Army, then let them. In the meantime we can't allow traitors in the Executive Branch of the US Government. Period.

12. Conservitives to Al Green

WOW Conservatives calling for a lynching, and calling him and Obama NIGGER, are the lowest this country has to offer. They follow the giant orange glowturd with aggression and hate in their souls, looking to fight. They COULD use that hate and joint the military .. that way they can kill to protect our country, instead of trash talking while humping their cousins. The hate and anger will surely sour their hearts and cause an early death. These idiots need to get the hell out of 1955 and crawl out from under their parents homes/garages long enough to understand what 2017 is about!

13. That's Trump's base at their finest

[GulfCoast66]

14. But they have had their jobs deported

How can you blame them.

[Coventina]

17. Yeah, they are just economically insecure, bless their hearts!!

[dalton99a]

15. Cult members protecting their messiah

[LiberalLovinLug]

16. I fear what will happen if/when there is actual impeachment hearings

His defenders will rise up from all across middle America brandishing the weaponry they stocked up during Obama's term.

That would be enough to cause major disruption, but then all it takes is for a couple of high ranking armed forces commanders to side with Trump... and a frightened GOP leadership that knows it is in knee deep in the Russia scandal as well, and it could all happen here. All under the guise of restoring law and order.
