Leave it to a radical Democrat to turn President Trump's commanding State of the Union address into a divisive racial circus. Texas Rep. Al Green was unceremoniously escorted out of the House chamber Tuesday night after pulling a disgusting publicity stunt with a race-baiting sign.
Green, who has made a career out of playing the race card, held up a banner reading "Black people aren't apes" during Trump's address - an apparent reference to some obscure video controversy involving former President Obama. The disruptive Democrat was quickly removed by security while Republicans grabbed at his inflammatory sign.
"These people are crazy!" one observer noted, perfectly capturing what millions of Americans were thinking as they watched this pathetic display of attention-seeking behavior.
Democrats Can't Help Themselves
While President Trump delivered a powerful vision for America's future - highlighting record economic growth, secure borders, and restored American strength - Democrats like Green could only think about how to inject racial division into the moment.
This is exactly the kind of toxic behavior that drove voters to give Trump and Republicans total control of Washington. Americans are tired of professional race-baiters like Green turning every patriotic moment into an opportunity to divide us along racial lines.
President Trump later said he did not see the video referenced before it was posted, showing once again how Democrats manufacture controversy out of thin air.
Green's shameful stunt perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with today's Democratic Party. Instead of celebrating America's achievements or proposing solutions for working families, they're obsessed with grievance politics and manufactured outrage.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump focused on uniting Americans around our shared prosperity and security, while Democrats like Green spent their time looking for ways to stoke racial resentment and disrupt the proceedings.
Is this really the best the Democrats have to offer? While Trump delivers results, they deliver race-baiting stunts that embarrass our nation on the world stage.
