The Texas Democrat stood, shouting, as the president addressed a joint session of Congress. After refusing to retake his seat, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Rep. Green removed from the chamber.

SILENT PROTEST DOES NOT WORK IF THEY WISH TO KEEP US SILENT. Yes Green, thank you for giving a voice to those of us screaming internally these past few weeks. THANK YOU!
The Dems who didn't walk out in solidarity with 77 year old Al Green are cowards and useless as is disgustingly weak @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
What a missed opportunity!
What stupid, cowardly "Good Germans" they are now.
Elder statesmen Rep Al Green of Texas was removed from chamber for speaking up yet Rep Marjorie Green of Georgia who jeered at Biden during his State of the Union Address wasn’t asked to leave.
The Hypocrisy of the GOP!
Do you think the Amercian Public can see thatTrump was play acting tonight?
I didn’t watch this dumpster fire, but seeing the highlight of Mr Green, an older black man with a cane being forcibly removed while white men and women clapped, gave me the just of what 2025 is to bring 🤮🫣😒🥃
How is this the headline?? @npr.org do better! A, use his whole name and B, he didn’t just stand shouting at random. He was shouting for us, to not cut Medicaid. For his constituents and for this country. Words matter. Do better!!
The late great John Lewis said it-"Get in trouble. Good trouble". Rep. Green got into some good trouble. The rest of us need to get in good trouble at every opportunity. Resist.
1/2 I see you MTG with your dumb hat, you need to sit your hypocritical maganut ass down 😤 you and your ilk heckled Biden, called him a liar during his SOTU and weren't tossed on your ass.
2/2 Meanwhile, Rep. Al Greene expresses his protest at trumps lies, stands up for the people rhat don't want this, and gets kicked out? Ya'll truly are the snowflakes you call everyone else.
The image of Marjorie, who wore a rally hat and chomped on gum while the decorum of another is called by the regime as they laugh.
The laughing of Vance and Johnson as they exert power should give us all a chill.
Every Democrat should’ve followed him out. What a bunch of pathetic losers. Zero respect for democrats right now. They just lost a lot of support. Holding their little pussy signs. Absolute impotent losers.
Factually- spkr johnson is gonna ban Green from voting THE MOST IMPORTANT BUDGET this week! We hv 4-5 repubs gonna vote w Dems. Need EVERY DEM VOTE to BLOCK IT. Now bc of Green it will pass! Medicaid GONE!
Then Trump talked about restoring free speech! Would have been nice if AP and Reuters were invited to the Oval
Office with the Trump and Zelenskyy debacle, But, hey TASS Russian State media was there!
Thank you @algreen.house.gov for standing up for the people! Thank you for having the courage to do so. Thank you for drawing up impeachment articles weeks ago.
Removed for an opinion. What a kangaroo court. What a shitshow. Violation of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to protest. Anyways, Al Green is amazing. Johnson should be ashamed that he (Johnson) stooped to bootlicking.
Ironic that the early human ancestor heckler from Biden's SOTU was captured in this photo looking on as if she were the model of decorum who can't believe Green's behavior.
In the same picture, Margorie Traitor Grunt is violating house rules and protocols. The Constitution is in ashes. There is no rule of law. The United States is dead.
They are just sitting there looking at him. Doing nothing. They were jeering at the start and making noise. Rep Al Green was kicked out and they all shit up and fell in line.
It doesn't work like that if the dems don't have control of either houses of congress. We need to continue to fight. To call representatives.. ans then prepare to vote in midterms. Also..there are 2 special elections in Florida.
No one removed repugnants who’ve done the same, nor the chief justice when he called Obama a liar. I recall one repugnant being cited later thru a formal process but citizenry has moved on by then
Trump said tariffs are going to save American jobs.....HOW??? With 100K+ federal workers now on unemployment and massive layoffs coming due to economic slowdown on consumer goods due to tariffs, it's another pile of shit twisted lie out of his ugly orange pie hole. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com
The only hero in the chamber. Were they all dumbfounded? Since the Republicans have no decorum why is it important for the Democrats. That’s what the Republicans are betting on.

Mike Johnson has told GOP members of Congress to stop town halls, because they're having to listen to feedback from their constituents that they don't like what they're doing. This is Republicans' version of democracy.
A good line to repeat for us who always say something to that idiot at the store wearing a Trump hat. I say "you do realize he is a traitor, scammer, felon, adulterous liar?" They usually walk away. Now I will add, "oh and he has no mandate."
Not one Democrat stood up in his defense--in their House! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social sat quietly & politely afraid to interrupt the coup in progress as two of the architects of the January 6 Coup sat on the dais. @jeffrieshakeem.bsky.social & @chuckschumer.com must step down.
Why don’t our Dem leaders start and lead major demonstrations at our large college campuses? I was a kid in the 60s in Berkeley and saw first hand what they could accomplish. Time to do it again.
What snowflakes. Obama and Biden gave their SOTU amidst heckling from the Republicans like MTG and Lauren Boebert. Did Johnson remove them? No, but they can’t handle the truth themselves very well.
Honestly, I wish he would have refused to move... maybe seeing a 77 year old man forcibly removed would spur a little more action from Dems than a little church fan waving.
And Marjorie Taylor Grern hecklers Biden but was not removed from the chamber. How dare they! Oh he was a black man, no wonder why the racist speaker of the house did this. It’s a disgrace.
Oh baby
Let's, let's stay together ('gether)
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
I wasn’t happy and definitely angry at the two sitting behind the orange face a**hole smearing and grinning as Green was walking out. Also, Republicans cheering and laughing…so sad.
Ya know when everyone was mad that no one helped the woman thrown out if the town hall? Why didn’t the Dems follow Rep Al Greene?
I didn’t watch … did ANYONE stand up for him? I’m thinking not. They held up signs 🙄
Absolute crisis of liberal leadership on full display. They're going to remain tepid and weak as the US is steamrolled and pilfered by criminals. It's shameful
I'm North of Dallas in red leaning area, but we're more purple than people think. Unfortunately, my rep is a spineless republican who is bending the knee. His town hall last week didn't go very well for him though. People are angry..
One. Only ONE had the courage to fight. The rest just sat there with their stupid signs. I am so angry at the Democrats right now, I am crying blood. They should have been dragged out one by one. Shut that shitshow down. Show some backbone! From what I saw last night, Dems do NOT have our backs.

That will send a message.
what can we do, really do without fighting them?
what is being done is not effective and is being swallowed by darkness
how can we win this?
The hypocrisy of Dems
The childishness of Dems
The divisiveness of Dems
That gives a bit more of an urgent feel.
The laughing of Vance and Johnson as they exert power should give us all a chill.
I worked with Charles Sumner
You, sir, are no Charles Sumner!
Not even worth bloodying my cane with
Office with the Trump and Zelenskyy debacle, But, hey TASS Russian State media was there!
Keeping tabs on what they’re doing is very helpful.

Or are they staring a madman down and silently sending the signal of “We see you. We know you. We will fight you.”
?
I guess the GOP loves their blowjob queens 👸
We need better.
Do something, democrats.
Did you even notice that your own rep has been voting from a nursing home bc SHE HAS FUCKING DEMENTIA? 🙄
But why would you notice? A demented rep votes the same as a maga rep. And that's what you want.
This is why democrats hate their democrats representatives.
They have no balls, save one. Get a fucking clue, DNC.
What a missed opportunity!
What stupid, cowardly "Good Germans" they are now.

Decorum has no place in a Congressional chamber during a coup unless it's an impeachment hearing.
SHUT HIM DOWN

Hello, Texan.
Fortunately, I reside outside of Austin in a blue area.
I sent Al Green $25 tonight.
What a missed opportunity!
