‘Remove this gentleman from the chamber,’ Johnson instructed the sergeant at arms
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R., La.) directed the House sergeant at arms to remove Rep. Al Green (D., Texas) from the floor after Green repeatedly disrupted President Donald Trump’s congressional address Tuesday night.
“Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir,” Johnson instructed Green after the Democrat began protesting just minutes into Trump’s address. Green had yelled a number of times that Trump had “no mandate” for his agenda.
“Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms restore order,” Johnson said. “Remove this gentleman from the chamber.”
The sergeant at arms proceeded to escort Green out of the chamber to thunderous applause from Republicans.
Green is best known for filing impeachment articles against Trump less than a month into his second term and preemptively denying sexual assault accusations against himself.
