Democratic Rep. Al Green removed after disrupting Trump’s speech

Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, was escorted from the House chamber on Tuesday evening following his disruption of President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress. Green, an advocate for the president’s impeachment since his earlier term, stood up and brandished his cane at the president during the initial moments of the speech. This action elicited a mixed reaction from fellow lawmakers, with some cheering and others booing, which contributed to the disorder on the House floor as Trump momentarily halted his address. In response to the commotion, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, resorted to reading from the House rules.
