Rep. Al Greene stood up and did something Republicans have not had the courage to do since 2017. He challenged him when he insisted that Trump had a mandate.
House Republicans didn’t like seeing Trump called, so they’re moving to blame Rep. Green.
Submitted by Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) Privilege resolution It calls for Green to confuse Trump’s speech and denounce Green for violating appropriate conduct.
On his side, Greene is willing to accept the punishment given and says he will not fight it.
Showing a dear leader bad is not tolerated by House Republicans. Certainly, some of these same House Republicans confused Biden’s speech before Congress and took him away. Greene had far more respect for Trump than Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Beaubert had with Biden, but that didn’t matter. The minds of House Republicans do not apply context or history, and they don’t want to be held accountable for their disrespect to the former Democratic president.
It is virtual certainty that House Republicans will move to punish Green.
Certainly, the government will be shut down in a few days and House Republicans still don’t have a solid date on when to introduce government funding bills, but punishing anyone who dares to talk is more important than small things like doing their job and keeping the government open.
