15. If I had to guess, it may have been related to Al Green's actions

May 1

during the 1st Trump admin.

He introduced articles of impeachment very early in Trump’s first year, the first time. Few voted with him. He filed again with a few more votes that time, but still far short. Those early efforts infuriated Trump voters who considered it (with Trump and RW media’s trenchant help) ri unfair and not even giving Trump a chance. It became part of the grievances that fueled all that followed. Some of Al Green’s colleagues may have thought he was being premature.

In my opinion, Green’s actions at Trump’s Joint Address to Congress was warranted. But I cat understand the reaction. Plus I don’t know Green well enough to know if colleagues consider him a grandstander. A number of dynamics could be at play.
