House Censures Al Green for Disrupting Trump Address to Congress
The House on Thursday voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
The chamber voted 224-198-2, which passed mostly on party lines, and ten Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of the censure.
During Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday, Green stood up, waved his cane, and yelled at the 47th president. Green sought to fight back against Trump’s claim he had a “mandate” from the American people.
Despite Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) urging the Texas Democrat to “take your seat,” Green continued to violate decorum, to which the Speaker urged the sergeant-at-arms to remove Green from the chamber.
Republicans sang, “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye,” as the sergeant-at-arms escorted Green off the House floor.
LOL: The House of Representatives voted to CENSURE Rep. Al Green, and Democrats starting SINGING on the house floor in "protest."
Speaker Mike Johnson had to literally SHUSH them.
This is PATHETIC!

“We take no pleasure in this,” Johnson said before the censure vote.
