Rep. Bennie Thompson: the 'Al Greens of the world' show people how to stand up to Trump - Velshi - MSNBC
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) defied and disrupted Donald Trump during the joint session of Congress, and Mississippi congressman Bennie Thompson predicts this is only the beginning.
“It takes the Al Greens of the world to force the rest of America to start saying we have to come up with an approach and a solution,” Rep. Thompson tells Charles Coleman Jr. on “Velshi.” Thompson notes that it’s “primarily people of color leading the charge” and that it has “forced Democrats to look at themselves.” - Aired on 03/09/2025.
