Rep. Al Green Removed from Trump's Speech After Disruption

News summary

During Donald Trump's recent address to Congress, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was forcibly removed after repeatedly shouting, "He has no mandate!" in protest against Trump's proposed cuts to Medicaid. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson ordered the Sergeant at Arms to intervene, marking a rare event in congressional history. While Green's actions drew some applause from supporters, they also highlighted a divide within the Democratic party, which largely opted for quieter forms of protest, like holding up signs with messages such as "Save Medicaid" and "This is not normal." Critics argue that the Democratic leadership's approach reflects a reluctance to engage in more direct action against Trump. Green, a long-time critic of the former president and advocate for civil rights, continues to call for impeachment, emphasizing the need for bolder resistance. Responses to the incident were polarized, with some praising Green's activism while others, including conservative commentators, celebrated his removal.
