Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was caught on video calling Homeland Security Sec. Markwayne Mullin a “racist” during a House committee meeting Wednesday focused on department funding.
Following the initial outburst, Green proceeded to tell Mullin to “shut up.”
The Homeland Security secretary could be seen cocking his head in apparent surprise, as Green continued the verbal attack, repeating “shut up.”
“Did you just tell me to shut up,” Mullin asked.
As the sound of the gavel rang out, Green shouted back, “It’s my time.”
“I’m not going to let anybody call me a racist chairman,” Mullen calmly told Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-New York, who serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Green denied making the comment before again asking Garbarino to “tell him to shut up.”
The chairman called for the encounter to be suspended following Green’s escalation at the House gathering.

Sore loser says what?
Green lost his primary. Mullin should have taken the opportunity to tell him he’s on borrowed time more ways than one.
Regards,
The people who elected this lowlife are some of the dregs of humanity in Texas.
FUGLY CRO MAGNON!!! Man.....DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY UGLY!
did he shake his cane again?
He’s been primaried out, so he’s gonna cause all kinds of mischief between now and January. He’s a grumpy old vindictive nuisance even on his best day. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Racist old coot has no couth and no sense of civility.................
Green is despicable. Bye....and take your cane with you.
Green and his gold handled pimp cane are the racists and bigots here. His ass is done. He needs to go home and die. He has made America miserable enough in his hateful, little man lifetime.
I'm shakin' it boss, I'm shakin' it!
I am fairly certain that I heard the cane being thumped against the floor or the desk
Al Green is lucky that Mullin didn’t take that stick and shove it up his a*s.
A US Congressman called a Native American ‘racist’ and told him to shut up?
tsk..tsk..
Thank goodness this race baiting bigot will be gone after this year.
Greene really does do a good job of representing what the Democrats really are.
Ugly, low IQ, Didn’t Earn It freak thinking the Democrat playbook 101, call anyone you don’t like a racist, still works.
It may still work but we’re not taking it anymore. All republicans have Trump to thank.
What could they do to him if he said that? Nothing.
