Democrat Rep. Al Green Ejected from Trump's Congressional Address

During President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was forcibly removed for repeatedly interrupting the speech, protesting Trump's claims of a 'mandate' and his policies on Medicaid cuts. House Speaker Mike Johnson called for the Sergeant at Arms to restore order after Green refused to sit, leading to his ejection. The incident highlighted tensions between parties, with Democrats engaging in various forms of protest, including signs and attire opposing Trump's policies. Other Democratic representatives, such as Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), also demonstrated by holding signs and using clothing to express dissent. The event underscored the deep political divides and the contentious atmosphere within Congress. Republicans were criticized for silencing dissenting voices, contrasting with how disruptions were handled during past administrations.
