President Donald Trump stated in a social media post that he will miss Representative Al Green's protests during the State of the Union address, following Green's loss in a primary runoff election. Trump referred to Green as 'one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country' and expressed that he would miss Green's dramatic actions during his speeches. Green was defeated by Representative Christian Menefee in the primary runoff held on Tuesday. The two candidates were placed in the same district due to redistricting. Green, who served 11 terms, was known for his protests against Trump, including a notable incident in February where he was removed from the State of the Union for displaying a controversial sign. He had also filed multiple articles of impeachment against Trump during his terms in office.
