The House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, for his protest during President Trump’s address to Congress.
Green shouted at the president, claiming he lacked a mandate from the American people. House Speaker Mike Johnson warned Green to stop, but he continued and was escorted out.
Trump criticized Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, for interrupting his joint session address to Congress and suggested that Green should be censured and forced to pass an IQ test.
The House of Representatives later censured Green in a bipartisan vote. Ten Democrats and all Republicans supported the censure, making Green the 28th lawmaker to face this reprimand.
The President called Green a “fool and a clown” and stated that he is an embarrassment to Congress and the Democrats.
Green was removed from the joint address after repeatedly disrupting Trump’s speech by shouting “You have no mandate!” as Trump spoke about Republican victories.
