Rep. Al Green says it's obvious that he is being discriminated against by Speaker Johnson because of his skin color, relates it to sitting in the back of the bus.
Green was kicked out of Trump's address because he kept interrupting.
"I'm a son of the segregated South. I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain..."
"When the speaker decided that I would be removed and then there was this resolution to censure me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others were."
This takes victimhood to a whole new level.

What complete bullshiite!!!!! green is a scumbag TRAITOR who belongs in GITMO not in the House of Representatives!!!!! green is a crass,classless, hate-monger and a disgrace to the position he holds, unfortunately only one of many!!!!! The entire devildemocommiecrat party hates God, hates America, hates liberty for We the People, including those fools who vote for them, and hate everything that is good, decent, and moral !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Green is a lying POS. He was asked to take his seat - repeatedly. Finally Speaker Johnson had him removed as was completely correct. Green violated 18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees. He could actually be fined.
"I'm a son of the segregated South. I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain..." And yet here he is a United States Congressman elected from a state that once would have had him in chains. He has risen from those days to today through his own efforts and the efforts of many others who preceded him, making it all possible. He is among the "elite" yet he complains about being abused because of the color of his skin. The reality is that he was removed from the proceedings for being an ordinary run-of-the-mill jackass hiding behind his blackness as an excuse for bad behavior.
Nailed it.
Naturally, of course, I'm surprised Johnson didn't bring in the Ku klux klan! Idiots like him shouldn't be anywhere near public fine.......they do not represent America!
his IQ is whats his problem not his color
Right you make your point, he is an ignorant SOB, that uses a race card. I am sick of ALL these Democrat!
Yup!!!
Our Congress has rules and this man KNEW he was violating them....
I watched the video and he was told three (3) times to sit down, that he was out of order - and he refused and continued to yell at President Trump and wave his cane around in the air in a threatening manner...
He KNEW he was going to be ejected from congress and he's playing the race card because he expects people to believe him - without actually watching the video to learn the truth....
This is a despicable action and my frank opinion is he needs to be ejected, removed from Congress.
Anyone who actually believes his words is lost already, used as cannon fodder by this despicable man.
