Sister of Slain Army Soldier Decides to Run for Rep. Al Green’s Seat After Seeing Him Interrupt Trump’s Congressional Address
Democrat Rep. Al Green of Texas is going to face a stout challenge to maintaining his congressional seat from the sister of slain Army soldier Vanessa Guillen.
Mayra Guillen says she made the decision to run after watching Green interrupt President Donald Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress last week.
Green yelled at Trump at the start of his address and continued shouting until Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana ordered that he be removed from the House chamber.
Guillen wrote on social media that the moment spurred her to action.
“After watching @RepAlGreen disrespect not only @POTUS last night, but our district, state and country, I believe it’s time for me to get into the fight like I did for my sister Vanessa Guillen!” she wrote. “It’s time to end the propaganda displayed by these politicians, and time to help support @POTUS and his amazing Admiration to Make America Great Again! Al Green I’m coming for your seat.” (Read more from “Sister of Slain Army Soldier Decides to Run for Rep. Al Green’s Seat After Seeing Him Interrupt Trump’s Congressional Address” HERE)
