President Trump has responded to Representative Al Green’s (D-TX) crushing defeat in the Democratic primary Tuesday night, as the congressman, best known for anti-Trump publicity stunts at the president’s speeches and unhinged shouting, will not be sent back to Congress.
"Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party! Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress," the president wrote on Truth Social. "But I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! President DJT."
Trump celebrates Al Green LOSING!

Rep. Green was defeated by Democrat Christian Menefee as the pair vied to represent Texas’ 18th District, which had been redrawn under Texas’s new congressional map. The primary wasn't even close, as Menefee received nearly 70 percent support from primary voters, putting an end to Green's more than 20-year career in Congress.

Christian Menefee: ~68–70% of the vote

Menefee won decisively in the heavily Democratic Houston-area district.

This comes after Green was escorted out of President Trump’s State of the Union address in February for holding up a sign that read: “Black People Aren’t Apes.” The protest was in reference to a video posted online by the Trump administration that depicted Trump as a lion, or “king of the jungle,” and several Democrats as jungle creatures, with particular backlash over the depiction of former President Barack Obama as a monkey.
🚨 LMAO! President Trump just dropped this hilarious line after Dem Rep. Al Green LOST his House seat
