Al Green and Markwayne Mullin Clash Over Racism Accusation at Hearing
Mullin interrupted Green as the lawmaker accused the Trump administration of racist policies and pressed him on whether he was being called a racist.
- On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin engaged in a heated exchange with Rep. Al Green during a House Committee hearing regarding President Donald Trump administration policies.
- "Racists take offense at peaceful protests," Green told Mullin, referring to the administration's policy of targeting immigrants from racial minority backgrounds.
- After Garbarino told Green to suspend, Mullin shot back, "A racist, Mr. Secretary, would do what happened to Ruby," asking if Green was calling him a racist.
- Although Mullin implied Green lost his primary due to his rhetoric, Green actually lost to Rep. Christian Menefee after districts were gerrymandered by Republicans.
- PAC Fairshake spokesperson Geoff Vetter said Green's defeat proves anti-crypto hostility carries real electoral consequences, making him the first Democratic incumbent this cycle to lose his seat.
