Rep. Al Green faced censure by the House of Representatives following his repeated interruptions during President Donald Trump's address. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson warned Green to cease his disruptions before ordering his removal. The censure vote reflected bipartisan disapproval, with both Republicans and some Democrats supporting the resolution. Following the censure, Green and fellow Democrats sang in protest, disregarding Johnson's attempts to restore order. The incident highlights tensions in Congress over conduct during important proceedings and the enforcement of decorum within the House.
Green's repeated interruptions during Trump's address led to his removal from the chamber by House Speaker Mike Johnson, culminating in a formal censure by the House.
The resolution adopted by the House states that Rep. Al Green be publicly censured, as he disregarded warnings and persisted in disruptive behavior during the President's speech.
In response to his censure, Green and his supporters engaged in singing in the chamber, demonstrating resistance to the House's call for order and the censure itself.
The adoption of House Resolution 189 by the House, with bipartisan support from Republicans and nine Democrats, underscores the seriousness attributed to disruption of congressional proceedings.
