Poor Trump, He was disrespected by the big bad Black Man, Congressman Al Green. According to the Houston Chronicle, Mayra Guillen says she will oust Al Green for disrespecting Trump. Good luck with that.
What did Trump think about Guillen’s sister?
In a meeting, Trump reportedly asked his advisers, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?”
Trump allegedly unraveled when an aide responded “yes” to the bill’s total. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f—ing Mexican,” he said, according to people in the meeting who spoke to the Atlantic.
The magazine reported that Trump then turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and ordered him, “Don’t pay it!” That order was apparently heeded by Meadows, as the Atlantic reported that Trump never sent a dime to help cover funeral costs for the slain woman.
Trump was reportedly still irked by the bill later that same day, with him claiming that Guillén’s grieving family was trying to take advantage of his wealth.
“Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “F—ing people, trying to rip me off.”
According to someone at Hobby Airport, when Congressman Al Green arrived back in Houston, about 95% of the people there gave him a standing ovation.
I know that I, along with my family, who live in the congressional district, will support and vote for Congressman Al Green. We are proud that he stood up to Trump.
Mayra Guillén, the older sister of U.S. Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén who was killed at Fort Cavazos near Killeen in 2020, plans to make her political debut by launching a challenge against longtime U.S. Rep. Al Green of Houston.
Guillén, who has never held public office, has become an outspoken advocate for reforming the military’s handling of sexual harassment and assault cases since her sister’s death. In 2021, she founded an advocacy group called the I am Vanessa Guillén Foundation.
The family’s push resulted in a number of new laws passed by Congress in 2021 and 2022 that are meant to make the military’s process of investigating harassment and assault more fair.
Guillén, who has previously been supportive of President Donald Trump on social media, didn’t say whether she will run as a Republican or a Democrat. But she’ll likely face an uphill battle. Green, a Democrat, has represented Houston’s south side in Congress since 2005 and ran unopposed last election in the heavily blue district.
Guillén announced her run after Green’s interrupted President Donald Trump’s address last week. Green was later censured by the majority Republican chamber.
“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 posted on X.
When and if she files, I will write about it and check to see where her campaign funds are coming from.
