Texas redistricting claimed a longtime Democratic incumbent Tuesday, as Rep. Christian Menefee defeated Rep. Al Green in a Houston-area runoff that forced two sitting House Democrats into the same race.
Rep. Al Green, one of Congress’ most vocal Trump antagonists, lost his Democratic runoff Tuesday to fellow Texas Rep. Christian Menefee after redistricting scrambled Houston-area congressional lines.
Green has been among President Donald Trump's fiercest critics in Congress, pursuing impeachment charges on multiple occasions against him during both of Trump's terms. Green has been kicked out of Trump's State of the Union addresses multiple times as well for standing up and protesting amid the speech.

Goodbye jackass

A tiny bit of decorum moves back into the Ship of Fools.
He and his pimp cane will not be missed.
This and Crockett’s district essentially got merged in the recent reshuffle.
There’s going to be a no-hoper in this seat no matter what, but at least there will be one less of them now.
“Green has been among President Donald Trump’s fiercest critics”
…how do they know? Can’t understand the mumbling stumbling dbag.
No more shouting on the House floor for this freak.
Still a few more months in this term.
Something is very rotten in Henderson County.
Where the heck is the DoJ.
This is a reliable deep blue seat. Says something that the most conservative rep in this district in my lifetime was Barbara Jordan. The current occupant (and primary winner) appears to be left of Green.
I guess Al will just have to start doing cavemen ad commercials on TV. He won’t need any makeup.
This is a Houston district. The city that received 200,000 democrat cannibals from Louisiana, after the hurricane Katrina debacle. Thanks to Chimp W Bush.
The only type of candidate that Houston will ever send to congress is a flaming communist scumbag who wants to destroy the USA.
Yet another uncivil fraud and bum bites the dust. What a jackass.
LOL!
TDS is because Democrats have nothing else in common. So they milk this one common thing, hating Trump. You’d think they could come up with something like “it’s the economy, stupid.” But, no. Oh, wait! Abortion...nope. Uhm, sexually mutilating children...uhm, nope. Vaxing everyone...so, last Tuesday. I know! Everyone has to wear a mask...uhm, it’s too hot. No. It’s just hate Trump. Nothing else sells.
Uhm...what will they do when Trump is no longer in the picture? I heard someone say they’d use the DOJ to sue him into penury. I somehow don’t think that will continue to work. They’ll simply have to find someone else to hate. The problem is, nobody has such a huge...I mean really big...tremendous...personality. Who would that be? No one else is going to fill the space Trump will leave behind in their minds.
He lost because he couldn’t get it done. The Democrats are looking for someone who will be effective in toppling the American government; the Hogg boy knows that they’re looking for young radicals. They’re going to get violent before it’s through. Democrats always resort to violence—it’s extortion. That’s their playbook when they don’t get what they want.
Losing. So easy a caveman could do it.
“what will they do when Trump is no longer in the picture?”
Well first off, he will always have the attention of the lunatics on the left.
Personally speaking, I fear for him AFTER he leaves office as well.
I pray I’m wrong but if anyone thinks the attempts on his life will end just because he’s no longer president is I’m afraid is sadly mistaken.
When he is gone they will just turn they’re attention tobthe next Republican candidate or president.
It’s only “all about Trump” to a certain extent.
Nice! 😁👍
Al Green - gone. Can The Squad be far behind?
Maybe a couple of them could be denaturalized and returned to their native countries?
“Birthright” citizens who serve in legislative bodies have a notorious record of not liking America very much.
I want my country back.
Green and Crockett will be back they can’t give up all that free money
Good news! 1 down - how many more to go? Get beds ready at the asylum for all of them....hopefully!
Made me smile this morning.
