Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) was made to eat his personal (previous) phrases on Monday.
During a House listening to on Republicans’ baseless bid to question Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) introduced up an op-ed titled, “Americans are The Victims of The Impeachment Inquiry.”
The subtitle was, “A lot of bipartisan legislation that enjoys widespread support sits gathering dust while Congress focuses on the impeachment inquiry.’”
Neguse requested Homeland Security Committee chair Green if he disagreed with the premise of the title and subtitle. “I do,” Green responded.
Green’s reply was “interesting,” replied Neguse, as a result of “these are your words” in “an editorial that you wrote five years ago during the debate about the impeachment of former President Trump.”
“It’s fascinating to me that you changed your tune,” he added.
“While we focus on impeachment, we are failing to address the real issues facing the American people. Americans are the ones losing out,” he wrote on the time.”
