Al Green

They speak out, and I admire them.

You do a much better job than I. But I'll share this brief vignette with you.

I had a mentor introduce me once.

It was a marvelous, magnificent introduction.

And he talked about all of the things that I've done as a congressman.

And as I was going to the microphone and he said, and before you leave, would you just sing one song?

I tell you, I get confused with the other Al Green quite regularly.

They assume that somehow I metamorphosed into him or he somehow became me, but that we're one.

So look, music I love.

And the message in his music is something that I cherish.

And I'm grateful that I happen to be fortunate enough to have his name or we share the same name.

Thank you, dear brother.

And I'm honored to have been on the program with you.

And my staff loves you.

What the president has done is gone beyond racial profile.

This is raw rank racism when the president of the United States of America, who knows or should know the history of this country and how persons have used this image of persons of African ancestry to be associated with persons who are members of the monkey family.

For the president to do this, and to do it openly and notoriously, is showing that he condones this level of racism.

I'm Emilio Hernandez.
