Rep. Green Associates His Call For Trump Impeachment To What Rosa Parks Did For Civil Rights

No, I don’t. I don't have one scintilla of regret. For edification purposes: The honorable John Lewis voted with us, the honorable Benny Thompson did as well. When Rosa Parks took that seat on the bus, she didn't do it assuming that she would end segregation in the South at that time. She did it because it was the right thing to do.

In fact it was the righteous thing to do. Sometimes you have to do the right thing and perhaps it will become the spark. We had 58 votes. That’s nearly a third of the Democratic caucus. And it's about bout 57 more than a good many people thought we would have.

When Dr. King went to jail, he didn't think that he would end segregation while he was there in the Birmingham jail, but he did the right thing. You have to stand up to hate and you have to fight it. You can’t try to placate hate.

You have got to stand and look it in the eye
