Al Green Takes a Stand: Rejects Congresswoman's Racial Insults and Gun Conspiracy Theories

Texas Congressman Al Green typically brushes off public insults, but animosity escalated after his protest during President Trump's joint address. His cane, once a mere support, now symbolizes resilience. Responding to Republican Rep. Diana Harshbarger’s derogatory comments, Green underscored its historical significance, declaring, "We will not accept a return to a caste system." He insisted on the importance of challenging normalized slurs, stating, “We’ve fought too hard.” Councilwoman Carolyn Evans-Shabazz similarly denounced Harshbarger’s remarks, labeling them intolerable.
