Conservatives Erupt After Al Green Melts Down During Viral Clash: 'Unhinged Lunatic Who Just Got Voted Out Like Yesterday's Garbage'

In what experts are calling "peak 2026 Democrat energy," outgoing Rep. Al Green (D-TX) delivered a masterclass in unhinged congressional performance art Tuesday, accusing Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin of racism for the unforgivable crime of not wanting a giant sign waved in his face during the State of the Union.

The Texas Democrat, famous for filing more impeachment articles against Trump than most people have socks, apparently decided his best strategy in a hearing was to channel his inner toddler who just discovered the word "no."

When Mullin had the absolute gall to defend himself, Green unleashed the devastating rhetorical nuke that has defined his entire career:

"Shut up," Green barked.

The clip spread faster than a Hunter Biden laptop story on social media, prompting the Republican National Committee to repost it with the simple, elegant caption: "UNHINGED.

Green, 80 years young and freshly rejected by his own voters in a primary that basically screamed "please retire," doubled down by holding up a photo of the sign incident like it was the Zapruder film of systemic racism.

"A racist would depict people of color as apes. A racist would take offense at a peaceful protest. This was a peaceful protest, Mr. Secretary," Green said, apparently unaware that "peaceful protest" now includes yelling at cabinet secretaries while your party gets demolished at the ballot box.

After Mullin tried to interject, Green continued to ask that Mullin be silenced. When Mullin continued, the congressman tried to ask the Republican chair to force Mullin’s compliance.

"Reclaiming my time. Ask him to shut up. It’s my time. Tell him to shut up," Green said, in the most compelling argument for term limits since forever.

Benny Johnson, a political commentator, blasted Green's attempt to block Mullin's response in his own post to X.

"This is the modern Democratic Party in one clip. Green's response? 'Shut up, up, up, up. Shut up.' No respect. No argument. No facts. No substance. Just 'shut up' and a temper tantrum. This is all they have left," Johnson said.

The Libs of TikTok, a conservative influencer account, similarly called the moment an embarrassment for Democrats, the Party immune to introspection and thus, embarrassment. 

"Rep. Al Green (D) has a complete MELTDOWN, calling DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin a 'racist' before telling him to 'SHUT UP' Thank God this unhinged lunatic was voted out," the account wrote.

Eric Daugherty, another conservative media personality, also celebrated an impending end to Green's time in Congress.

"Insufferable Rep. Al Green (D) just went on a BERSERK RANT and DHS Sec. Mullin took NO BS," Daugherty wrote. "Al Green just lost his House seat. GOOD RIDDANCE!"

Homeland Security Chairman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), eventually had to gavel the room like a substitute teacher breaking up a food fight, reminding everyone that character attacks are frowned upon, unless they're coming from Democrats calling everyone racist, of course.

Before the hearing resumed, Mullin couldn't resist one final mic drop:

"Evidently, his constituents heard enough of him because they voted him out," Mullin said Green, ever the statesman, closed with one last profound thought: "I will speak into the microphone so that I may be heard. I ask that any person who desires to interrupt me shut up," Green said one last time.

At press time, sources confirmed Al Green was already drafting his seventh impeachment resolution against Trump from the retirement home he'll soon be calling home.

GOP Bill Would Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops

Illegal immigration is surging at the southern border and the House Republicans have introduced a bill that would force the Biden administration to immediately deport illegal aliens or non-citizens who assault cops. Personally, I like the idea but why limit the bill to just police? Why not deport any violent non-citizen to their country of origin? 

The bill was introduced on Tuesday, amid an increase in violence by illegal aliens and other non-citizens. Last month, a border patrol agent was assaulted by an illegal immigrant as she was making an arrest.

GOP lawmakers blame the Biden administration’s incredible lax enforcement of border restrictions for the surge in illegal immigrants, saying that a rise in violent crime is a byproduct of the border crisis.

Democrats worry that deporting illegal immigrants who commit crimes against police will lose votes for their party, especially those votes for Democrats who still want to defund the police and all law enforcement and take away guns from law abiding Americans.

"As the Biden border crisis rages on, I have serious concerns about the ramifications for law enforcement officers who are on the front lines dealing with migrants," Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), who is spearheading the legislation, told the Washington Free Beacon in a statement. "Whether on Long Island or at the southern border, there should be no ambiguity that assaulting a police officer is a deportable offense for non-citizens."

There should be no ambiguity that assaulting anyone by an illegal immigrant is a sign that there is going to be more trouble down the road and that these criminals should be shown the door out of the country. But starting with law enforcement is a good start.

Garbarino’s bill, dubbed the POLICE Act, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act so that any assault on a law enforcement officer results in deportation. The bill is co-sponsored by six additional GOP lawmakers and is likely to garner traction in the Republican-controlled House, where immigration issues remain a top concern. 

Senate passage of the legislation would be more difficult with Democrats in control because it would decrease their voting base.

There has been a sharp spike since Biden apparently took office in the number of illegal immigrants apprehended at the border who have been convicted of violent crimes, including domestic violence and murder. In fact, this number has even exceeded those of the NFL and NBA.

 Customs and Border Patrol in 2022 apprehended more than 12,000 such illegal immigrants. Nearly 11,000 were apprehended in 2021 compared to just 2,438 illegal immigrants with criminal records apprehended in 2020. Additionally, nearly 140 non-citizen sex offenders were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a November 2022 operation in which no horse whips were used on those migrants.

Supporters of the legislation say it is necessary to combat a surge in violence that has spilled past the southern border and is endangering American communities across the country as immigrants are shuffled around more than a deck of cards at a Vegas blackjack table.

Karine Jean Pierre, the White House Press Zero, may try to tell us there is no problem at our southern border and that Joe Biden has things under control. She and the administration lie to us all the time, evidently believing we're gullible or just plain stupid. But the collective intelligence of the country is very smart and we are the people who cannot be fooled 'all of the time.' Some tall Republican with a beard, high hat, and a crazy wife said that.
