2026, and a President of the United States needs to be reminded by a Congressman that "Black people aren't apes."
This one covers the full spectrum, I'd say.
KUDOS to Rep Al Green for his COURAGE and CONVICTION.
GOD DAMN DONALD TRUMP for making the exchange NECESSARY.
WASHINGTON Rep. Al Green (D-TX) broke his silence after he was forced out of the State of the Union address Tuesday night over confronting President Donald Trump.
Just as the president entered the House Chamber, Majority Leader of the House Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) ripped a sign of Green's that said "Black people aren't apes" moments before Trump delivered his speech.
"As you know, the president has depicted the former president, the Obamas, as apes. And if we tolerate this level of racism and perpetuate it, I refuse to tolerate it," Green told Raw Story.
"I dont want to see it normalized," he explained. "And thats why I flashed this [sign] to the president so there would be no questions where I stand. He needs to know that theres some people who have the courage to tell him things that he doesnt want to hear and that nobody else will tell him. And on some issues, its better to stand alone than not stand at all. So I stood alone
