House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., ordered a Democratic congressman removed from the chamber of the House of Representatives as President Donald Trump delivered a speech Tuesday night to a joint session of Congress.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, repeatedly interrupted Trump and raised his cane in the air.
“Members are directed to uphold and maintain the decorum in the House and cease any further disruptions,” Johnson said. “That’s your warning.”
He directed Green to take a seat, and when Green failed to do so, he ordered William McFarland, the House sergeant-at-arms, to “remove this gentleman from the chamber.”
Green spoke to the White House traveling press after he was removed from the chamber.

He said that before he was escorted out of the chamber, he yelled at Trump that the president had “no mandate” to cut Medicaid.
“It’s worth it to let people know that there are some people who are going to stand up” to Trump, Green said.
He said he didn’t know whether he faced any formal punishment for his protest in the chamber.
