President Donald Trump called for Rep. Al Green (D-TX) to be forced to pass an IQ test after the Democratic lawmaker heckled Trump during his address before a joint session of Congress this week.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, 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.”

Green was censured on Thursday in a bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives for trying to interrupt the president. While Trump was speaking, Green screamed that he does not have a “mandate” to cut Medicaid. Green was removed from the chamber over his disruptions.

Green told reporters after being removed that he would accept whatever “punishment” came his way.

“It’s worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security,” the lawmaker claimed.

Ahead of his censure vote, Green remained defiant about his actions, saying he would do it again.

‘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.’ I have constituents who need Medicaid. They will suffer, and some will die if they don’t get Medicaid,” he told his colleagues.

Trump called the Democratic lawmaker a “fool and a clown” and an “embarrassment” to both Congress and his political party.

“Nobody takes him seriously,” the president said. “He is an embarrassment to Congress but a much bigger embarrassment to the Democrats.”
