One of President Donald Trump\u2019s most outspoken critics, Rep. Al Green (R-TX), triggered Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin in a heated exchange on Wednesday about the Trump administration\u2019s racist policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacists take offense at peaceful protests,\u201d Green told Mullin, referring to the administration\u2019s policy of targeting immigrants from racial minority backgrounds. \u201cA racist, Mr. Secretary, would do what happened to Ruby\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullin shot back, \u201cAre you calling me a racist?\u201d<\/p>\n

As Green attempted to reclaim his time from Mullin, the former Oklahoma senator continued to demand an answer as to whether he was being accused of racism. Green replied by telling him to \u201cshut up\u201d and insisting that it was Green\u2019s time to talk, not Mullin\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna let anybody call me a racist, chairman,\u201d Mullin responded.<\/p>\n

Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), the House Committee on Homeland Security Chair, had interjected previously when he complained that a different Democratic representative had pushed a \u201cflat-out lie\u201d behind him. When Green reiterated that he had not called Mullin a racist and that this was his time to speak, Garbarino told Green to \u201csuspend\u201d and allow Mullin to claim the time traditionally allotted to Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one will call me a racist,\u201d Mullin said, pointing out that his family is part-Cherokee.<\/p>\n

After Garbarino said that he suspended the clock and that Green would not lose time to speak because of Mullin\u2019s interruptions, the Homeland Security Secretary insisted he was justified to cut off Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will continue to interrupt as long as someone\u2019s \u2026 calling me a racist,\u201d Mullin told Green and Garbarino.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree,\u201d Garbarino told Mullin, again seeming to side with him over Green. \u201cAs I said before there will be no addressing anyone\u2019s character in a negative way. By the way, Mr. Green, when you\u2019re speaking, I need you to speak into the microphone because I can\u2019t hear you up here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullin then claimed Green lost his recent primary because of his rhetoric.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvidently, his constituents heard enough of him because they voted him out of office,\u201d Mullin retorted.<\/p>\n

Pleading for civility, Garbarino responded by saying, \u201cMr. Secretary, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Mullin implying that Green\u2019s own actions cost him his House primary, in fact he lost to Rep. Christian Menefee (D-TX) after both lawmakers\u2019 districts were gerrymandered together by Republicans to shore up their chances of winning in 2016. Menefee had an advantage over Green because the cryptocurrency industry invested millions of dollars in his campaign.<\/p>\n

“Rep. Green’s defeat proves that anti-crypto hostility carries real electoral consequences, making him the first Democratic incumbent this cycle to lose his seat,” Geoff Vetter, a spokesperson for the pro-cryptocurrency super PAC Fairshake, said in a statement about defeating Green. “Fairshake was the difference-maker in this race, and we will continue to aggressively back leaders like Rep. Menefee across the country.”<\/p>\n
