(VitalNews.org) – The Democrats’ immature tactics backfired spectacularly when Rep. Al Green was forcibly removed from Congress for repeatedly heckling President Donald Trump’s first address to the Joint Session.
Watch the video down below.
The 77-year-old congressman from Texas shouted protests about Medicaid cuts while waving his cane at the president.
His actions prompted boos from Republicans and an order for his removal by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
As President Trump delivered his triumphant “America is back” message to Congress, Rep. Green refused to maintain decorum.
He repeatedly yelled, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!” Despite warnings from House Speaker Johnson to cease disruptions, Green continued his outburst.
Republicans in the chamber responded with boos and chants of “USA! USA!” as Capitol security escorted the disruptive Democrat from the House floor.
The incident highlighted the stark contrast between Republicans celebrating America’s renewed strength under President Trump and Democrats’ desperate theatrical protests.
House Speaker Johnson did not mince words about Green’s behavior, calling it “a spectacle that was not necessary.”
Johnson added, “[Green] made history in a terrible way. And I hope he enjoys it. If they want to make a 77-year-old heckling congressman the face of their resistance, the Democrat party. So be it. We will not tolerate it on the House floor.”
“I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud, nothing I can do,” President Trump said.
Green was not the only Democrat engaging in theatrical protests. Some wore pink clothing as a form of silent protest, while others displayed signs with partisan messages.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib showed a whiteboard with tax-related complaints, and Rep. Melanie Stansbury held a sign reading “This is not normal” until Republican Rep. Lance Gooden took action by snatching and discarding it.
Several prominent Democrats including Sens. Chris Murphy, Ron Wyden, Patty Murray, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boycotted the address entirely.
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove stormed out mid-speech, later crudely explaining, “There’s only so much bulls*** a person can tolerate.”
Speaker Johnson suggested Green face censure for his disruptive behavior, a formal reprimand, and public condemnation for violating the House code of conduct.
Johnson anticipated Republicans would propose a censure resolution, which he committed to bringing to a vote.
Green has a history of anti-Trump behavior, having previously called for the president’s impeachment.
When Republicans shouted for Green to sit down, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace reportedly yelled, “Sit your a** down!”
Her words demonstrate the growing frustration with Democrats’ inability to accept President Trump’s legitimate election victory and his clear mandate to govern.
While Democrats resort to childish disruptions and theatrical displays, President Trump continues advancing his agenda to restore American prosperity after years of decline under the previous administration.
