Rep. Al Green Censured After Outburst During Trump’s Address to Congress
The Texas Democrat interrupted President Trump’s speech, citing frustration over Medicaid cuts and GOP policies, leading to a formal rebuke by the House.
- Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was censured by the House after interrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, objecting to claims of a mandate and proposed Medicaid cuts.
- Green’s actions included shaking his cane and refusing to sit down, prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to remove him from the chamber.
- The censure vote passed with support from all Republicans and ten Democrats, while two additional Democrats, including Green, voted ‘present.’
- Green defended his actions as a spontaneous protest inspired by civil rights activism, invoking advice from the late Rep. John Lewis about the necessity of disruptive peaceful protest.
- Known for his activism and long-standing focus on his Houston district, Green plans to continue opposing Trump’s policies, including filing additional impeachment articles.
