'There's a gun in there': Republican lawmaker insists cane carried by Democrat 'is a prop'
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) warned that Rep. Al Green (D-TX) could be concealing a gun in his cane after he shook it at President Donald Trump during an address to Congress earlier this year.
The Republican lawmaker made the remarks after FAME Ministries owner Booney Crawford asked her about the behavior of members of Congress behind the scenes.
"Is it like, you know, like here locally, or I guess it's everywhere, where attorneys will get in a courtroom and they'll fuss and fight with each other, but as soon as it's over, they go out to dinner, have coffee, whatever?" he wondered in a recent interview.
"Well, Lord Jesus, they make money that way, too," Harshbarger replied. "They get up and rant and rave and tweet, or X, or whatever it is."
"Hold their signs up during the State of the Union," Crawford noted.

"No, that's not me," the lawmaker insisted. "I wanted to go over there and grab a few of them, but Al Green was over here with his cane, and I'm like, gosh, dang it, boy, put that — He does not need that cane. That cane is a prop."
"I swear it's not real," she continued. "And I'm wondering, one of my colleagues said, screw the gold part off of that and see if there's a gun in there."
"I'm like, I don't know about that man. He's just weird Al."
The Republican-led House of Representatives voted to censure Green in March after he shook his cane at Trump during a speech to Congress.
