Democrat Escorted Out of Trump’s Congressional Address After Unhinged Behavior
On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump gave his address before a joint session of Congress, the fifth time he’s ever given such a speech. It was by far the rowdiest, though, and before the event even started. Once Trump had started speaking, though, it wasn’t long before the booing and interruptions started from Democratic members. Early on, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) even had to be escorted out, at Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) direction.
Throughout Trump’s remarks, at least the portion he was present for, Green stood up, waving his cane in the air.
At one particularly hysterical moment, as the president was speaking about his “comeback” win last November, the outbursts got so out of control that Johnson had to take to the mic to remind members to conduct themselves appropriately. He made it was clear he was issuing a warning to these members. When they still did not cease their outbursts, Green especially, whom Johnson addressed by name, the speaker directed the Sergeant at Arms to get involved.

Trump was then able to continue on with his remarks, as he continued to remind how much of a special “comeback” win he had achieved, while going on to speak about the ills caused by his predecessor, President Joe Biden. He also called out Democratic members of Congress for their refusal to applaud anything he had to say throughout these speeches, no matter what he said.
