During a contentious address to Congress, President Trump announced, 'America is back,' while showcasing his governmental reshaping efforts. He faced heckling from Democrats, particularly from Representative Al Green. Trump's remarks included a reading of a gratitude message from Ukraine's President Zelensky and indicated a possible willingness from Russia for peace. Speaker Mike Johnson's intervention to remove Green underscored the charged atmosphere. Despite applauding from Republicans, the event reflected a stark political divide, with no new policy proposals introduced by the President.
From the speech's first moments, when Al Green, a Democratic lawmaker from Texas, repeatedly yelled you don't have a mandate and refused to sit down, the deep divisions in Congress were on display.
They won't do it no matter what. In an extraordinary move, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Mr. Green removed from the chamber.
