President Trump called for Rep. Al Green to take an IQ test following Green's heckling during a congressional address. Green was subsequently removed from the chamber for his disruptive behavior, which he defended as crucial for advocating against proposed cuts to Medicaid. Trump labeled Green a fool and an embarrassment, asserting that he does not take him seriously. Green, censureed by a bipartisan House vote, stood firm on his actions, stating he would continue to speak out for constituents reliant on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
"I did it with intentionality. The president indicated that he had a mandate. I said to the president, 'You do not have a mandate to cut Medicaid.'"
"Trump argued Green should be forced to pass an IQ test because he is a low IQ individual and we don't need low IQ individuals in Congress."
