Lauren Boebert Criticizes Al Green's Protest During Trump Speech

The Colorado congresswoman called Green's use of his cane during his Medicaid protest 'abhorrent' as Democrats defend his actions.

Rep. Al Green protested proposed Medicaid cuts during President Trump's address by shouting and refusing to sit down, leading to his removal from the House chamber.
Lauren Boebert accused Green of waving a 'pimp cane' at Trump, a comment that has drawn criticism for its inflammatory language.
Green, who uses a walking cane, defended his actions as a matter of conscience and said he would repeat them if necessary.
The Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats expressed support for Green, framing his protest as a stand for vulnerable Americans reliant on Medicaid.
House Republicans voted to censure Green, while some Democrats protested silently or walked out of the chamber during Trump's speech.
