This week President Donald Trump gave his first State of the Union address. A lot of people were there, but not my Congressional representative, Al Green from Texas' 9th district. It's not that he had something more important to do, he just didn't show up simply because he has a moral objection to Trump's policies.
Fine, you're a man of integrity and I respect your sense of moral duty. You need to preserve your dignity. Who could blame you? This would be a rather admirable trait if not for the fact that it's a all a giant steaming pile of horsecrap.
In 2006, in a recently surfaced video, Rep Al Green is scene visiting and embracing notable antisemite Minister Louis Farrakhan. In the video, Green can be seen hugging Farrakhan and giggling like a school girl as the embrace. Other Washington DC Democrat elites like Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, and William Jefferson were there too. It was one big giant love fest with a man who has an well documented history of publicly attacking Jewish people.
Strange, he has too much moral integrity to sit and listen to President Trump give the State of the Union, but not too much for an intimate encounter with a man who once said Hitler was a great leader in 1984.
Praising Hitler seems like the kind of thing that would ruin most people's chances of ever hanging out with high ranking Democrats, but apparently not when you're Louis Farrakhan. But wait, there's more! Here's Farrakhan in 1995 telling the world that the Jews actually financed Hitler.
Wow! Rep Al Green sure has chosen a strange person to press his body against in an intimate manner while smiling from ear-to-ear.
Maybe Al just didn't know about Farrakhan's history? Or maybe he doesn't care.
At any rate, here are some other questionable things that Al Green's friend Louis has said over the years.
- 10. “You are not now, nor have you ever been a citizen of America. You are a slave to white America.”
- 9. “America is in trouble, and I say God is about to wipe this nation from the face of the Earth. I’m not crazy, I’m not drunk, how long do you think a nation can do evil and not face the wrath of god?”
- 8. “Qadaffi’s a revolutionary, he’s my friend, he’s my brother. And I would never deny him because you don’t like him… I love him.”
- 7. “My god will wipe this country (America) from the face of the earth.”
- 6. “You see everybody always talk about Hitler exterminating six million Jews. That’s right. But don’t nobody ever ask what did they do to Hitler.”
- 5. White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.
- 4. On on the Jewish people: “You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood.”
- 3. On Hezbollah: “They call them terrorists, I call them freedom fighters.”
- 2. “The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man.”
- 1. “The Mother Wheel is a heavily armed spaceship the size of a city, which will rain destruction upon white America but save those who embrace the Nation of Islam.”
Meanwhile, here's an interesting Tweet that Rep Green shared with his followers earlier this month.
Racist bigotry? Yeah, that stuff bothers us too, Al Green. That's why we're worried about your choice of friends.
