Al Green

If I had been in the chamber, and please don't consider this as any kind of braggadocious commentary.

But if the president said, you are lunatics, look at these lunatics, then I would have to challenge that.

And I'd get thrown out again.

I just don't think that that kind of behavior can go unchallenged.

And I think the response has to be immediate.

I don't think the next day I would say, oh, the president was a really bad guy.

He shouldn't have done that.

I think you have to say it right then and there.

This is wrong.

You don't come into my house and behave this way and treat me with this kind of ugly behavior.

This is a time for that kind of courage to exude from the people who have it embodied within them.

She has courage.

I just must tell you, I admire people who would take this kind of bold stand.

When Dr. King was at his zenith, there were other intellectuals of his time.

There were other great orators of the time, but the thing that he had that separated them from the others of his time

was courage.

He would speak the truth about what was happening to people.

Others knew it, but they did not have the courage to take the bold stand that he did publicly and to ask others to join him.

It's a remarkable thing to see the courageous attitude that she displayed.

And by the way, there are others who have similar attitudes as it relates to this president and the things that he's doing.
