Never-Trumper Tara Setmayer Rips ‘Slavemaster Ick Vibes’ Of GOP Punishing Trump Heckler Rep. Al Green

Seneca Project co-founder and Never-Trumper Tara Setmayer told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah that the GOP House punishing Rep. Al Green (D-TX) for heckling President Donald Trump gave her “slavemaster ick vibes.”

Trump delivered a 99-minute address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night — essentially a State of the Union address by a different name — that was chock full of memorable and newsworthy moments. One such moment was Green’s heckling of Trump and removal by the Sergeant at Arms, which has resulted in the GOP-led House voting to censure Green.

On Thursday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, Obeidallah asked Setmayer for her thoughts on the speech, and she did not hold back:

I was like, you guys, you just have to do something different. And I keep telling people, you got to fight like Republicans. I’m not saying the policy, the tactics! You need to learn how to do this because it works.

And so that would have been something drastic. And have and have an alternative. Gather on the steps of the Capitol with the people, with with examples of federal workers and farmers and, you know, people and veterans like the peopl. You wouldn’t expect to be hurt by these things because those are supposed to be the people Trump supported. And he loves the veterans and the farmers. Right? You do? Well. Look at who you are. These are the people you’re hurting right now. You really don’t give a damn about this.

Elon Musk, your crony, is decapitating our government and hurting everyday people that you claim to support. So they should have had an alternative and take the the spectacle off of Trump. Don’t give him the opportunity to use you guys as props, which is what he did.

Now I know. And I was like, well, if they’re going to go, then you need to be in silence. No glad-handing, none of that. But if Al Green or someone else was going to protest and, you know, there’s– civil disobedience has a place. So. Okay, fine. If that’s where you’re going to use it. Then when he was removed by the sergeant at arms, which which I found to be very alarming, it bothered me.

I didn’t like to see a Black congressman being talked down to you by a southern speaker of the House telling him, you know, sit down. Gave me very like, you know, slavemaster ick vibes. But to had the sergeant at arms come and remove a member of Congress from a joint session? Are you kidding me?

Every Democrat should have gotten up and walked out in solidarity with him. That would have given them the opportunity to do something different in solidarity with their brethren there. Because how dare they?

They showed up. Right. It’s a constitutional duty, kind of that you got to go and do this. So I understand why they showed up.

But there should have been a plan that as soon as Donald Trump started to attack them or did something like that and create a spectacle, they were under no obligation to stay there and be props for his Trump rally.
