Rep. Al Green Accuses Homeland Security Secretary of Racism During Heated Hearing
During a House committee meeting focused on department funding, Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, accused Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin of being a 'racist.' The confrontation escalated when Green told Mullin to 'shut up,' leading to a tense exchange. Mullin, appearing surprised, questioned Green's directive to 'shut up,' to which Green responded by asserting his right to speak during his allotted time. The chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Rep. Andrew Garbarino, intervened to suspend the encounter following Green's repeated demands for Mullin to be silenced. This incident is part of a pattern of aggressive outbursts by Green, who has previously been ejected from President Trump's addresses to Congress.
