So how often were opposition politicians removed at Hitler speeches? Feels about the same; wrong and should not have happened. But when you have such weak egos. .
Green. I get why and I sympathize, but I don't think it was a good look. Perhaps a better look would have been for the Dems to just all boycott the thing.
Congressman Green is being censured by Republicans for his defense of Medicaid last night. What BS. Majorie taylor green does all outrageous stuff and it isn't on behalf of citizens.
I called Rep Al Green saying that he is appreciated.,

Between MTG, that asshole yelling "You lie" at Obama and that corrupt dipshit Alito mouthing "Not true" at obvious facts and mugging for the camera, the last fucking thing I want to hear from Republicans is anything about decorum. They should get no respect because they are incapable of giving any.
Kudos to Rep. Al Green for disrupting Trump’s lies. Now he’s been removed from the chamber by the sergeant of arms. May others follow his lead and shout down his lies.
Yeah. But Democrats could have. Except they always like to high fly. Many of us had been wishing the Democrats would have learned some mean streak from these Magat losers.
Once again the Dems showed who they are—totally spineless.
They should have kept the pressure on that Al Green courageously showed.
They should have disrupted this fucking nazi rally.
This is a fascist coup and they just sat there.
Pink clothes and pins aren’t going to cut it!!!!
Al Green showed them the way but apparently all it took was a stern warning from the speaker for the Dems to back down. Every single Dem in attendance should have went the same way Al Green went.
Al Green set an example for his peers to follow. They didn’t. This is embarrassing. They could have continued to protest one by one. I would have preferred they not show rather than sit in silence. Trump’s speech is the same talking points we hear every day. The dem response is what mattered.
The Dems should not even have gone to this Trump/Putin address to Congress. They need to protest this ongoing coup. Wtf Democrats. We need LEADERS NOW!

Medhi, you need to bring him on Zeteo and talk with him about his stand. He was undoubtedly the hero of the night. (Not that I would try to tell you how to do your interviews)
Rep. Green? He yelled in the middle of Trump's meandering babble. He loudly spoke up to say that Trump DID NOT have a mandate to attack Medicare. I think he called out a few more things. He did it several times until Mike Johnson had security remove the Congressman.
While Dems just sit there - kind of a sad analogy to how they constantly throw minorities under the bus (although the Senate Dems did come through yesterday so I’ll give them a little grace)
They’ve been doing that to TN Democrats in our state house for a couple of years. And they are trying to make it illegal to vote for sanctuary policies. Democracy. Yay.
We all can see what is happening.. Give context or insight Mehdi
1) Instead of focusing on @algreen.house.gov removal focus on his standing up
2) Why didn't one after another Dem stand up after him?
3) Why wasn't MTG ejected when she screamed at Biden
Did Speaker Johnson do the same thing when MTG heckled and berated Biden? Displayed a MAGA hat AND a sign ALL AGAINST their OWN rules? No? Rep. Green shouldn't be removed then.
He was elected Speaker on October 23rd, 2023. He sat right next to VP Harris in the Speaker's seat during Biden's State of the Union speech March of 2024. He should have corrected their behavior.
Green and the few who left are real ones. Democrats need to be loud and fight back, push against Trump's bullshit, interrupt him at every pass and genuinely be good trouble.
But people like @warren.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are content to maintain decorum while the country burns.
It is a common theme to say you are fighting the noble cause, particularly when you are not. Often they say they are fixing the problem they are in fact causing. It somewhat works with low information voters.
This is serious shit happening and Greenes antics don't get us anywhere. If both sides abandon decorum what are we left with? Trump getting elected twice is a indicator that we are becoming nothing more than a bunch of 5th graders arguing at recess.
He knows first hand how Trump’s policies will impact the demographic he represents.
People seem more concerned about DECORUM when people like Rep Green are more concerned about DISABILITY & DEATHS in his district if these policies are implemented.

The same ambush style behavior
On prime time…wondering if Heyu has the streaming rights. 🤔
What did he do to be "excused"?

Not an excuse..
AL GREEN IS A FUCKING HERO!
Democrats failed big time.
But people like @warren.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are content to maintain decorum while the country burns.
Did I hear that in one sentence?
Do like the MĀORI, and stomp your feet, shout and create a war cry.
We should all be disrupting the status quo.
Dem who was the hero there. Dems seriously need to be more like him.
He knows first hand how Trump’s policies will impact the demographic he represents.

He’ll be tired of being alone soon!
Cue Bruce Cockburn.
