Brother Green, a 1968 Beta Nu Chapter initiate at Florida A&M University, who has represented Texas in Congress for 20 years, stood in the aisle and declared that the President had “no mandate” to cut Medicaid before Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed. Brother Green is a veteran civil rights advocate who fights for the poor and disenfranchised.
