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.

He more or less said that to a labor union thug as Senator, and was standing up and taking off his jacket to do it. It wasn’t a good career move, the video got featured in his confirmation hearing and he looked like an idiot hothead being proposed for law enforcement leadership, although they ended up pals.

Schoolboy tough guy crap. Use your words.

But it wouldn’t be the first time somebody got beaten badly with a cane in a congressional disagreement.
