 Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com -HIGHLAND, Hills-Ohio 11th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat who is one of two Blacks in congress from Ohio and whose largely Black congressional district includes most of the majority Black areas between Cleveland and Akron and several of Cleveland's eastern suburbs, reiterated her call for President Trump to be impeached at her Town Hall on Saturday at Tri-C Eastern campus in Highland Hills. 

Highland Hills is a largely Black  middle class village of Cuyahoga County that borders Cleveland.

Topics addressed include health care, immigration, voting rights and voting security, special counsel Robert Muller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that benefited President Donald Trump, college tuition rates  and the Green New Deal, which the House passed while the Senate rejected it thereafter, the proposed legislation an economic stimulus bill to reduce carbon emissions and tackle the twin crisis of inequality and climate change.

Fudge said that now is the time to push impeachment hearings against the president.

The federal lawmaker has called Trump a "clear and present danger to our democracy."

The congresswoman is, no doubt, a Washington D.C. power broker who is not afraid of Donald Trump, a Republican real estate mogul who in the last month and a half has taken on an array congress people of color and Civil Rights leader the Rev Al Sharpton, spouting right-wing racist rhetoric that has angered the Black community and Democrats, and even some world leaders.  

After the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives last year Fudge, also a former national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and a prior chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, toyed with opposing Rep. Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House but decided to rejoin Pelosi's team to fight against the right wing attack on the Democratic Party in congress, and elsewhere.

She called Pelosi a dynamic leader in her own right, though she, and nearly a third of congressional Democrats, including Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a presidential candidate, want impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump and Pelosi has been hesitant saying they do not have the votes and the Democrats should focus instead on regaining the White House in 2020.

“ A mobster? A con man? A gangster in the White House? I think so,” Fudge read on the floor of congress in June about Trump, a letter she said her office received from an upset constituent  relative to the president.

The letter then went through a rundown of Trump’s behavior before turning attention to his followers where the congresswoman said that if Trump is racist so are his followers. .

At Saturday's gathering Fudge hesitantly endorsed the Green New Deal, which is not immediately paramount to the federal lawmaker's concerns in an impoverished congressional district that is majority Black.

The congresswoman said that while she endorses the Green New Deal legislation, the bill, supported by the House, which is controlled by Democrats, but rejected in the Republican-controlled Senate, lacks meat. and that while climate change policies are crucial so many other issues are just as important to her constituents. 

“Certainly, the constituents are concerned about the environment, climate change and we heard a lot of that today.," said Fudge. "More importantly, they’re concerned about the plight of people who just can’t get that leg up.”

A former Warrensville Heights mayor, Fudge and Congresswoman Joyce Beatty of Columbus, also a Democrat, are the only Blacks in congress from Ohio.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
