Democrat Al Green warns Trump that he will 'hear from me again' after election loss

Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green told President Donald Trump on Wednesday that he has not heard the last from him after he lost a primary Tuesday night to fellow incumbent Democratic Rep. Christian Menefee.

Both men were seeking their party's nomination to represent Texas' 18th congressional district. Green represents Texas' ninth district but opted to change districts after the state's redistricting efforts made his lean more Republican. 

Green reminded Trump in a post on social media that he would still be in the lower chamber through January and, therefore, the president had not seen the last from him, after Trump claimed he would "miss" Green not waving his cane at him.

“Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. President, but you will hear from me again," Green posted on X. “I have more than enough time left in Congress to continue calling out your corruption. Sincerely, your unbought, unbossed, unafraid, unelected, liberated democrat - Al Green, The People’s Congressman.” 

The comments come after Green, who is known for being a harsh Trump critic in the lower chamber, was booted from the House floor during the president's State of the Union address in February for holding up a sign that read: "BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!”

“Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress – But I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech.”
