Fireworks Erupt After Sore Loser Al Green Tries

Though it is just about unimaginable to keep on top of every single congressional race (unless you’re a pollster or data guru), I’ve to say that I didn’t have longtime Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX-09) going down in defeat in the late-May Texas major runoff.

Green, as PurpleState reported, ran in the 18th Congressional District this yr after the ninth was redrawn to be more GOP-friendly. Thanks in half to his numerous Trump impeachment pushes, his Trump Derangement Syndrome affliction was stable, and he may play the Race Card with the best (worst) of them. 

But the 18th already had a a lot youthful Democrat in Congress, 38-year-old Christian Menefee, who gained a particular election runoff in January to change deceased Congressman Sylvester Turner.  Since contemporary blood appears to be what the get together’s voters need this election cycle, Green, 78, was shown the door in a blowout runoff victory for Menefee, with 69.3 p.c of the vote in contrast to Green’s 30.7 p.c.

Though we’ll fortunately no longer be subjected to Green’s political stunts (which have gotten him thrown out of a joint congressional deal with and a State of the Union deal with) after his congressional time period is up, apparently, he intends to exit with a bang, one thing that was noticed during a House Committee on Homeland Security funds request listening to that happened on Wednesday.

Green got here armed with his common indicators and slogans – including a video exhibiting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin attempting to grab the “Black people aren’t apes” signal Green introduced to the February 2026 State of the Union deal with, back when Mullin was still a senator. 

For those who missed that second, watch:

At one level during his demonstration, Green appeared to call Mullin a “racist.” When Mullin repeatedly demanded that he stop and said he would continue interrupting Green until the document was corrected, Green stored going on while telling Mullin to “shut up,” which prompted Mullin – who said as a Native American that his own household had been subjected to racism – to get louder.

Watch:

Deranged conduct! Rep. Al Green goes berserk on Secretary Markwayne Mullin, screeching at him to “Shut Up!”

“Reclaiming my time, ask him to shut up. Shut Up! Tell him to shut up!”

At another level during the listening to, another Democrat, Rep. Tim Kennedy (NY-26), accused Mullin of operating DHS “straight into the ground,” and again, Mullin was having none of it:

“Your predecessor is no longer here, she disgraced this department, and it seems like you are following right in her footsteps, under your leadership—” Kennedy started as Mullin jumped in.

“That is not true. Don’t accuse me of something that’s not true,” Mullin said.

Kennedy continued by accusing DHS of denying food and medical care to detainees as he and Mullin talked over each other.

“You can say all you want, but don’t accuse me of something that’s not accurate. You can sit there and tell lies all day long and all it is is a lie. That’s a flat-out lie, and you know it’s a flat lie. That’s a lie,” said Mullin.

I gotta say, I really like Mullin’s unwillingness to back down when insulted and particularly when falsely being accused of racism. This is one thing we need to see more of from Republicans when the Race Card will get trotted out.

Further, Mullin’s acquired a lot larger priorities to deal with than being subjected to the clown show antics of a sore loser like Green.

Plus, I imply, truthfully, if I have been these Democrats, I’d keep in thoughts what occurred during the one listening to from 2023 when Mullin squared off with a union chief (the 2 are now mates) who had been keyboard warrioring about Mullin on X:

A combat virtually broke out in a Senate listening to.

Markwayne Mullin read a tweet from Teamster boss Sean O’Brien which challenged Mullin to a combat. Mullin said he was prepared to settle issues proper right here, proper now.

After that heated exchange with O’Brien, Mullin, a former MMA fighter, merely said on X that “In Oklahoma, if you run your mouth, you get called out. Period.” 

Sounds about proper.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must preserve control of both chambers of Congress.
