President Trump mocked Rep. Al Green after Green lost the Democratic primary runoff to Rep. Christian Menefee. The article also recounts past confrontations between Green and Trump in Congress.
President Trump posted congratulations to the “Dumocrat Party!” after Rep. Al Green lost the Democratic primary runoff for Texas’s 18th Congressional District to Rep. Christian Menefee. Neither candidate passed 50 percent in the March primary, so they advanced to a runoff. The Hill said it had reached out to Green’s office for comment.
The article recounts earlier clashes involving Green and Trump, including Green’s removal from a congressional address and the House’s subsequent censure of him. It also describes Green’s protest over a video depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as gorillas, and reports that Sen. Tim Scott called the video “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”
