Critics of Representative Al Green’s (D-TX) obnoxious attempt to disrupt President Trump as he began his address to Congress blasted the Democrat for an “embarrassing” display of nothing more than a show of disrespect for the office of the U.S. president. Fox News reports Green was slammed as a “disgrace” and a “clown” as he waved around his cane while shouting at President Trump.
According to the New York Post, “initially, Trump tried to speak over him, but Green, 77, persisted, shouting, ‘You don’t have a mandate’ — an apparent reference to the budget resolution that narrowly passed the House last week. Green, who represents a district in the Houston area, also pointed his finger at Trump. On a few occasions, he briefly quieted down to let Trump speak so that he could interject again.”
Despite his attempt for recognition, Green’s words barely made it out as he almost immediately was drowned out by chants of “U-S-A” from Republicans on the other side of the chamber.
After requesting Green to have a seat and maintain “decorum” in the chamber, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was left with no choice but to ask the Sergeant at Arms to “restore order” and escort Green out, which they swiftly did. Green’s removal was met with cheers from Republicans while his fellow Democrats remained in their seats.
American Encore President Sean Noble reacted on X posting, “Rep. Al Green has been a gadfly his entire time in Congress. He purposefully disrupted in order to get removed… shameful conduct, but absolutely not surprising.”
“Al Green is a disgrace,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) posted.
Megan McCain, the daughter of the late Senator John McCain, also took to X calling the behavior of the Democrats “disgusting,” while suggesting that they are showing no respect for being in Congress.
Some, however, saw Green’s disruption as praiseworthy as progressive writer and former Hillary Clinton adviser Charlotte Clymer calling him a “hero.”
The far-left social media account, Dear White Staffers, shared a post suggesting that other Democrats should have followed in Green’s footsteps, writing “If 77 year old Al Green can disrupt and be removed, then every single other Democrat had a duty to do so as well. Keep em coming.”
According to Fox News, Green has already filed impeachment articles against Trump citing what he called “ethnic cleansing in Gaza.” Green is known for being one of the most outspoken and obnoxious critics of President Trump.
Green was not the only Democrat to display disrespect towards the president while in Congress. Fox News reports, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) tried making a statement holding up a small sign with the writing “This is not normal” behind the president as he entered the chamber, but it was quickly taken away by Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX).
In a post on X, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital that Democrats “behaving like children would be the least surprising news of the night.”
Can we really expect anything else other than corrupt behavior from corrupt Democrats? They rage over nothing hoping to get support for what?? Me think they doth protest too much…
The obstructionist Democrats demand your respect! After all, they DID get dressed (ties and all) and came to the office! These Value Signalers can’t be expected to cooperate, too. It’s asking too much for them to acquiesce to anything that might benefit America.
He should have been handcuffed and dragged out without his weapon (cane)!
