Lotta ways to protest. If people wanted to make their voices heard in other ways, great. If they wanted to sit stony-faced that works 2. But the idea that Green is going to be the guy held to some perverse account after last night's carnival of authoritarian degeneracy is unthinkable & unacceptable. - ThreadSky

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

The convicted felon is not going to help anyone. His assistant JD was too busy with his fake smile. This is what fascist do.

Democrats have become the Whimp Party. They do not deserve Al Green or Jasmine Crockett.

Agree!

I was sick when I saw no one standing up or walking out with the brave Al Green.

The party as a whole should be embarrassed by whatever that was last night. They looked weak and not up to the challenge.

Al Green, however, did not. That’s who I’d stand with.

The racism in the image is striking

If they come for Al Green with a house censure motion then Democrats should double down on the truth of Al Green's message as his defense.

That it's wrong to censure someone for speaking the truth.

"TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO CUT MEDICAID"

Agreed. I actually think that the democrats needed to act in concert. It would have been a much stronger message for every one of them to skip the event. Don’t advertise in advance. Just do it. Leave half of the floor empty.

It should have been beneath their dignity to listen to the nonsense coming out of Trump's mouth anyway

Well said.

They all should have dressed up like Trump, with red ties, ill- fitting jackets, and pillows around their guts. Throwing popcorn and yelling "liar" when ever he opened his mouth.

And wigs that look like Krasnov's hairdo (or hair don't)

This is imagery akin to Tank Man in China.

The rest of the party should have walked out with him. The fact that they had him removed when so many Republicans have interrupted Presidents Obama and Biden without being removed should have been enough. They should have had his back. I am with Green, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in 2012.

How about censure for Goodson, who ripped a sign out of a Dems hands and threw it before Trump even made the podium?
