The house of representatives conducted a symbolic vote on a hastily written impeachment resolution by al green in reaction to the presidents tweeted comments that the house of representatives voted to condemn as racist the impeachment resolution had nothing to do with the mueller investigation and referred only to the president being unfit for office because of the language that he has used recently about members of congress and immigrants and asylum seekers as is common with resolutions like th...

Floor, the twin votes where pelosi called his tweets racist and then you had the second vote condemning those tweets. in both of those cases you first had basically democrats getting behind pelosi rather than the squad, those four congresswomen. and then you had a bipartisan vote condemning the president. shes trying to push things back away from the squad and that liberal set more toward her. and then today i think probably very much out of her control youve got a congressman al green from texa...

Condemning those tweets. in both of those cases you first had basically democrats getting behind pelosi rather than the squad, those four congresswomen. and then you had a bipartisan vote condemning the president. shes trying to push things back away from the squad and that liberal set more toward her. and then today i think probably very much out of her control youve got a congressman al green from texas, he decides to bring forward this impeachment resolution and they vote on tabling it. it sp...

These tweets from a few days ago about your four colleague theres. you voted to kill that impeachment resolution. why? >> i dont think we should be focused on an inquiry like that on the tweets. i think we need to be focused on bob mueller and the serious charges of obstruction when it comes to that. let me tell you about this, steve. the president is miscalculating on the politics. brian fitzpatrick, who represents bucks county, pennsylvania, where i grew up, he voted to condemn the presidents ...

To force a vote today on the floor about whether that would get to a full vote. the house voted to kill the impeachment effort with the majority of democrats, along with every single republican voting to table the resolution. joining me now, democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland, a member of the judiciary committee. for those of us not steeped in the procedure of the august body which you serve, what happened today? >> well, you know, most impeachment resolutions arrive from the judici...

Impeachment resolution. joining me now is congressman al green, the man behind that effort. thank you for being here, congressman. you have now tried three times, 2017, 2018 and now 2019 with impeachment -- bringing impeachment to the floor. they failed. is this one the last one that youre going to try? >> it absolutely is not. the national anthem reminds us we must march on until victory is won. we were up from the first time. i do believe that this president will be impeached and i believe tha...

Less educated. my point is basic and undeniable. the republicans play for keeps. you want to beat them, do the same. and when it gets down to picking the person you want picking the next members of the supreme court, find yourself a winner. thats "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. tonight on "all in" -- >> i knew him like everybody in palm beach knew him. >> as the president tries to separate himself from jeffrey epstein -- >> i wasnt a fa...

Be sent to committee. by not tabling it we would have referred it to committee. i think thats where most if not all of the members on the judiciary side voted not to table because we wanted it to come there. i was not very impressed by that resolution because it didnt even enumerate high crimes and mish demeanors. it was an expression of righteous frustration at the presidents outrageous remarks. but it really did not look much like an impeachment resolution. it did not talk about obstruction of...

Tweets, his approval rating among independents has fallen 10 points. trumps racist tweets were the impetus for a new impeachment resolution which was brought by al green of texas who was able to force a vote today on the floor about whether that would get to a full vote. the house voted to kill the impeachment effort with the majority of democrats, along with every single republican voting to table the resolution. joining me now, democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland, a member of the j...

Bring forward this impeachment resolution and they vote on tabling it. it splits the democratic party. and i think you saw a very emboldened president trump today at his rally. instead of having the headline most recently about a bipartisan vote to condemn him for his racist tweets, the most recent vote in the house was this split democratic party that he essentially thanked for supporting him. >> and jon, its conceivable that one mr. boehner is out in ohio tonight, his grand gripped around a be...
