Congressman Al Green Removed During Trump’s Speech to “Goodbye” Chants

President


Donald
Trump
‘s
latest
address
in
the
U.S.
Capitol
has
experienced
a
slight
hiccup.

Rep.

Al
Green
—an
11-term
Democrat
from
Texas—was
ejected
from
the
chamber
floor
for
verbally
interrupting
the
78-year-old’s
speech
during
a
joint
session
of
Congress.

“You
have
no
mandate,”
Green
shouted
at
Trump,
after
the
POTUS
said
his

2024
presidential
election

against
Vice
President


Kamala
Harris

was “a
mandate
like
has
not
been
seen
in
many
decades.”

House
Speaker

Mike
Johnson

(R-La.)
then
requested
that
Green
take
his
seat,
before
ordering
for
the
77-year-old’s
removal
when
he
failed
to
comply
with
the
direction.

“Finding
that
members
continue
to
engage
in
willful
and
concerted
disruption
of
proper
decorum,”
Johnson
read
from
the
rulebook, “the
Chair
now
directs
the
Sergeant
at
Arms
to
restore
order
and
remove
this
gentleman
from
the
chamber.”

Green
was
escorted
out
by
security
and
House
Sergeant
at
Arms

Ronny
Jackson

(R-Texas)
as
Republicans
chanted, “Nah
nah
nah
nah,
goodbye,”
according
to

NBC
News
