trump-blasts-rep-al-green-an-embarrassment-democrats-says-he-should-forced-take-iq-test

President Donald Trump has launched a sharp critique at Rep. Al Green, calling the Texas Democrat "an embarrassment to Congress" and suggesting he "should be forced to take an IQ test." Trump’s remarks came after Green disrupted the president's joint session address earlier this week.

The House of Representatives took swift action Thursday, voting in a bipartisan effort to censure Green for his behavior during the address. Green, 77, had interrupted Trump’s speech by shouting, "You have no mandate!" as the president highlighted Republican victories in the House, Senate, and White House.

Trump, in an exclusive interview, did not hold back. "He should be censured," the president remarked. He went even further, labeling Green "a fool and a clown," adding that "nobody takes him seriously." According to Trump, Green is not just "an embarrassment to Congress" but "a much bigger embarrassment to the Democrats." Ouch.

Green’s outburst led to his removal from the chamber by the U.S. Sergeant-at-Arms, at the direction of House Speaker Mike Johnson. The disruption momentarily derailed the start of Trump’s address but certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

It’s worth noting that these fiery exchanges come against the backdrop of a politically charged season, with tensions running high in Washington. Whether this censure will lead to further consequences for Green or simply add fuel to the partisan fire remains to be seen.

This is a developing story, and updates are expected as it unfolds.
