Democrats Protest Trump's Speech with Walkout, Expulsion in Congress

During President Trump's first address to Congress, Democratic lawmakers staged a series of protests, including a notable walkout led by Rep. Al Green, who was removed from the chamber for vocally disrupting the speech. Many Democrats expressed their dissent through coordinated efforts, wearing T-shirts reading 'Resist' and holding signs that read 'False' and 'Save Medicaid.' The protests aimed to highlight concerns over Trump's policies, particularly regarding Medicare and the treatment of marginalized communities. Despite calls for a dignified presence from House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, the protests reflected deep-rooted tensions between the parties, as Trump criticized Democrats throughout his address. Some lawmakers invited guests affected by Trump’s policies, emphasizing the human impact of the administration's decisions. The demonstrations underscored a growing divide in Congress, with Democrats asserting their resistance against what they see as harmful policies.
