Texas Rep. Al Green interrupts Trump, calling him out. Speaker Johnson, reading language apparently prepared in advance first cautioned Green & then had him removed from the chamber.

Thank you for your courage, Rep. Green. You are a brave man.
If only more Democrats had the courage to walk out after you.
Come on, Democrats, fight for us!
Each Democrat should take turns at this, delaying Trump's speech for hours, or forcing Johnson to clear the entire chamber and let Trump talk to a camera.
Democrats, if you need me to game plan for y'all, message me. I'll work with you to drop the gloves and kick the ever loving shit out of your opponent. You know ... that would be the GOP.
Good trouble indeed. It’s a shame none of his Democratic colleagues stood with him as he was forced out of the chamber. Giving in already? I’m so very ashamed of my party & my country.
Al Green is one of my heroes. In Texas, it can be difficult to spot them for the crowded ranks of ignominious assholes, but every single one of our real heroes is pretty fucking spectacular.
Shouldn’t then every GOP member who was on their feet and applauding (to include that dickless traitor, Vance) have also been escorted out?
“Rules for thee but not for me”
I hate that smug, racist, orange old man face. All he's thinking of is 'yeah, I can just get a black man hauled out of Congress just by snapping my fingers'.
God I hate them so much.
No greater contrast between Republicans and Democrats. When MTG and Boebert shouted at Biden, the Dems just Took it. The GOP is playing a different game and the Dems need to adjust. When they go low, we need to step on their fucking necks.
Wow, Reps sitting silently & holding up signs like you’re posing for an Instagram photo. Wake the fuck up!!! Complying gets us no where! Do you truly fear you have no rights? It’s time for GOOD [email protected] @repdarrensoto.bsky.social

Dems should have each take a turn disrupting so it stops the speech and they get all the prime time footage. It’s a coup by a traitor, not time for decorum.
Oh my goodness I’m so profound disappointed in the democrats that you thought T-shirts and little signs where the way to go you should have made them take you out like @algreen.house.gov you should have all had his back but you all just sat there in silence democracy is dead and you just watched it
Agreed! They should have all walked out with him together (United front) or taken his page from the playbook one by one throughout the entire address. That would have impressed the shit out of me!
Free speech but only if they agree with what's said, child protectors but Russia can kidnap Ukrainian children, back the blue unless they stood in your way on Jan 6th the hypocrisy is mind blowing.
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.
US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people.
Johnson and his God squad need to go to confession. Unless lying is now allowed in the Catholic religion. I hate religious hypocrites almost as much as I hate Prez. Cheeto. Mr. Fatmouth himself.
They should have ALL stood up and been escorted out, one by one, so that Trump had interruption after interruption. Someone needs to teach Dems how to fight!
Selective memory at work. Who could forget the two shitgibbon turdflingers. Guess it’s only ok when it’s Sleepy Joe. But don’t you dare interrupt shitler. Cue the clutching of pearls.
The gqp have destroyed our American democracy. Their hypocrisy is rank. They lie, use underhanded, unethical, illegal, and unconstitutional methods. There are just no words to describe the terribleness of what they're doing!
Johnson gleefully ordered his removal. Didn't even try and hide his enjoyment. And Green was the last Democrat to stand up to the lies told tonight. Everyone stayed silent after that.
This is what we’re talking about @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you’re playing by a different set of rules. When they heckled Biden, what did we do? NOTHING. This NotSee Party we call Repubs aren’t playing by same rules. Step up your game or step aside & let a woman handle it like Crockett or AOC.
And Jeffries had the opportunity to arrange a massive protest. One by one they interrupt Trump and are removed. Two minutes later another interruption.. over and over. But NO Jeffries can't even manage to have a unified front from the Dems. It's pathetic.
“apparently prepared in advance”… Johnson recited every three words and had to look back down. Mr. Green shoulda had a prepared number of folks to follow him out….
I just can't get over that they're in the building that was attacked and where officers were murdered by the GOP's agents. And Trump is in charge. And insurrectionists were invited to attend. It's not believable.

Meanwhile, Pelosi, once a fierce Warrior, sits as the perfect picture of the DNC: wounded, crippled, ignored, irrelevant now.
America is so fkd right now
The quiet looks were shameful.
“Rules for thee but not for me”
Why one whole side of a chamber could stand and scream while Green (when silent) was ejected well suits President Trump’s style of decorum.
God I hate them so much.

Great stuff from Green. Horrible passivity from everyone else.
Be disruptive. Speak out for your constituents. Speak for the nation.
Make good trouble and be leaders!
Anyone?
All that cheering they were doing was disruptive too.
So only positive comments?
They should all have heckled him one by one until they all got escorted out.
Good trouble people.
Them dumb ass signs.
At this point they’re allowing this to happen with NO tangible dissent whatsoever.
Republicans love disrespectful behavior……until they don’t (when it’s directed THEIR way).
Please help me make it make sense 🙄🤦🏻♀️
They won. And continues to win.
THIS is why we’re so pissed at democrats.
Sycophant azz wipe.
So sick of their inaction at such a critical time in our history.
👏👏👏
@algreen.house.gov
