Dem Rep Removed for Disrupting Trump Speech
During President Trump’s joint address to Congress, Rep. Al Green disrupted the proceedings, leading to his removal from the House chamber. Green’s protest, stemming from his long-held belief that Trump should be impeached and opposition to Trump’s budget cuts, involved standing and shaking his cane at the president. The ensuing uproar included various other demonstrations from Democrats, such as wearing symbolic clothing and displaying protest signs related to women’s rights, Ukraine, Social Security, and Medicaid. Despite requests from Democratic leadership for decorum, several members engaged in visible protests, highlighting deep divisions within the chamber.
