德克萨斯州民主党众议员阿尔·格林多次试图弹劾总统特朗普，并多次被特朗普的国情咨文演讲排除在外。他接受了福克斯新闻数字频道的镜头采访，谈到了他最近的初选结果，这次选举导致了决选。
格林指出，加密货币行业斥资150万美元支持他的竞选对手，这是导致他选情胶着的主要原因。
“他们明确表示我是目标，而且他们有一份虚假民调显示他们会以大幅优势获胜。事实上，我认为他们昨晚就假设已经胜券在握，举办了胜利派对。当然，我和其他人都知道这会是一场决选，”格林在过去一周的初选后第二天说道。
与此同时，格林还抨击他的对手——前哈里斯县地方检察官、现德克萨斯州众议员克里斯蒂安·梅内菲（Christian Menefee）——称其缺乏经验，且在其国会职业生涯初期就未出席投票。德克萨斯州的重新划界导致两位现任议员在第18国会选区的竞选中狭路相逢。
格林告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他希望在决选前立即与梅内菲展开辩论。
“我向梅内菲先生发起辩论挑战。我认为我们应该立即进行一场辩论，”格林说。”但我也挑战他来履行职责。在他当选国会的第一个月里，在他宣誓要来这里代表人民并投票之后，你知道，第18国会选区的投票结果却显示他缺席了，所以在他宣誓就职后第一个月内，他整整一周没有投票。”

格林吹嘘说，在20年的国会生涯中，他的投票出勤率超过97%。他还指控梅内菲未出席有关伊朗的机密简报会。
当被问及他对特朗普的反对可能会导致他输掉选举时，这位德克萨斯州资深民主党人再次坚定表态，称他会”一次又一次地”这样做。
“如果这导致我输掉选举，我还是会这么做，”格林继续说道。”我只是认为这位总统是个种族主义者。希望你能注意到这一点。是的，他是个种族主义者，我们必须挑战他。我们不应该让一个种族主义者留在白宫。”

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who has repeatedly tried to impeach President Trump and has been thrown out of Trump’s State of the Union addresses multiple times, spoke on camera with Fox News Digital about the results of his recent primary election that resulted in a runoff.
Green cited $1.5 million in spending against his campaign by the crypto-industry as a major driver behind the closeness of his race.
“They made it clear that I was a target, and they had a fake poll that showed that they were going to win by some large margin. I think, actually, they called a victory party last night assuming that it was over. Of course, I and others knew that it would be a runoff,” Green said the day after his primary this past week.

At the same time, Green also slammed his opponent, former Harris County Attorney-turned-Texas Congressman Christian Menefee, over his alleged lack of experience and failure to show up for votes early in his congressional career. Texas’s redistricting changes pitted the two incumbents against each other in the 18th Congressional District race they have been battling in.
Green told Fox News Digital that he wanted to have a debate immediately with Menefee ahead of the runoff election.
“I’m challenging Mr. Menefee to a debate. I think we should have a debate right away,” Green said. “But I also challenge him to come to work. In his first month in Congress, after having sworn that he was going to come here and represent the people and vote, you know, the 18th Congressional District has been about an absence of a vote, so having sworn to do this, within his first month he missed a week, an entire week without voting.”

Green bragged that in 20 years he has made over 97% of his votes in Congress. He also alleged that Menefee was not present at a classified briefing on Iran.
When asked if he was concerned his objections to Trump may be a factor that could cost him his race, the longtime Texas Democrat doubled down, saying he would do it “again and again and again.”
“If it cost me an election, I would do it,” Green continued. “I just think that this president is a racist. I hope you pick that up. Yeah, he’s a racist ad we have to challenge him. We shouldn’t have a racist in the White House.”
