President Donald Trump on Wednesday unleashed an attack on a longtime Democratic lawmaker who was unseated in a primary runoff in Texas — after the president pressured state leaders to redistrict.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was defeated on Tuesday in a “rare incumbent-on-incumbent” Democratic runoff in Texas’ 18th Congressional District, NBC News reported. Green, an outspoken critic of Trump, had challenged the president throughout this administration.
Trump wrote the following on his Truth Social platform:
“Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party! 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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!”
