House Republicans are immediately moving to punish Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green, who was removed from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting President Donald Trump's speech.

Sure, make him a martyr. That’s perfectly fine.
All Patriots…… you can call Rep Newhouse’s office and offer your thoughts on this. I did. 202- 225-5816.
Spineless cowards sucking up to who they want to suck.
Oh no they’re going to say you’re mean for doing that. Boo hoo
Punish MTG!!!
Really? Could the Republikkkan MAGAt Party be any more racist? Joe Wilson and MT Green got a WHITE PRIVILEGE pass!
We should not play favorites. He should get exactly the same punishment that Joe Wilson did when he shouted at Obama and that Bobo and Three -Toes got when they interrupted Biden.
This is why every Democrat should of walked out in solidarity. This show strength in numbers.
A man with courage, conviction, honor and integrity. Something CNN would know nothing about.
Spank him with a Forbes magazine?
Texas has capital punishment, so I think we know where this is going.
Any punishment will simply serve to cement Rep. Al Green's hero status.
Yes men doing the puppet masters bidding. Republicans are a bunch of incompetent cowards.
Well, Danielle Smith went off on her own, seeming to abandon the rest of Canada until she discovered she’d been played by Trump. It seems now she has made an abrupt about turn and now is making sense in her representation of Team Canada. Hang together Canada!! Together we are strong. I AM CANADIAN
She is shady…
It would have been better for democrats to boycott then present themselves for GOP censor.
These coward snowflake over everything except what matters
Impeach tRump
I guess that whole "Free Speech" thing Trump bragged about doesn't apply to Black people in Trumplandia.
It wasn’t that big of a deal. Just move on.
The same Republicans that didn’t want to release the ethics report about sex predator Gaetz? The same ones that refused to expel fraud and thief George Santos? Those House Republicans? I’m shocked (not really)
So, “decorum über alles” then? Jeffries hasn’t spoken to his caucus, and the Freedim Nutjobs had boilerplate resolutions ready to fill in with names. The same that shouted at Biden repeatedly? That what’s going on and that sounds just dandy to the Dem “leadership.” THIS is why D’s lose.
He will be absolved of all sin during the second coming of Obama...

Create a martyr. We dare you. - The American People
They didn't punish the the blonde cunt face when she interrupted Biden's speech.
One rule for thee, another for the GoP. youtu.be/nll5Akqs-eI?...
What about “Freedom of Speech”?
Not a punishment, a badge of honor
Silence is complicity. He did the right thing.
So did MTG get sanctioned after she disrupted Biden’s speech? Hypocritical d-bags
America, The media are as much slaves to the lie as you are, Here is e trith, Trump lied to you and played you like a bunch of suckers, Enjoy youtu.be/TRdkzNb5VI4?...
Refresh my memory. What was the consequence for Marjorie Taylor Green when she yelled at Biden. I know she wasn’t removed. And Lauren Boebert wasn’t either. Such hypocrisy.
The speaker should have removed them then.
I can’t like this. He did what was right and stood up for his constituents.
Republicans get their fee-fees hurt?
Asshats! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
To be fair on Green, he yelled a bit, he DIDN'T try to stop the verification of a perfectly legal election. GOP needs to consider how far they wish to push, before the country will, simply, NOT accept their hypocrisy.
How is this happening?
Where was the same outrage for MTG? Oh, I get it, he's a man of color. How dare he speak up against #TyrantTя☭mp! I'm glad he did! He's speaking for us!
"“We have to uphold the expectations of decorum here,"..... seriously??? What was his reaction on MTG and her behaviour during Biden's SOTU?
Oh really? So.if you do that reputards, you Better do that to MTG and that other witch!
Who cares a congressional censure amounts to a slap on the wrist. All the democrats should have gotten removed last night. That would have shown that they were at least ready to oppose Trump and the spineless Republicans.
Indeed
So much for this comment “I’ve stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.” #TrumpLies
They would have raised merry hell had #democrats done the same to #marjorietaylorgreene and #laurenboebert for doing the same damn thing
Alignment. Or. Punishment. It's what advancing ongoing coups do
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the literal piece of garbage cosplaying as a Congresswoman, did this to Biden and nothing happened to her? You can't spell hypocrisy without Republicans! (I know you can, but MAGA people aren't smart enough to figure that out)
Losers!
Then M.Traitor Green should lapidated in the village square.
Should be* 💁♂️. I don’t wanna give her ideas!
Oh, because, you know, that makes total sense.
I guess you can only disrupt with supportive chants and raucous.
Cool. Now do Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert next!!!!!
Fuck 'em
But Republicans seem to forget this.
There was a time ....
Like, three days last August I wanna say?
(psst, it is code) There Was A Time
Ahh, cool, like the French Resistance we're going to be sending messages through our sourdough next.
Also, you can use, "see you next Tuesday" gimme a 👍 when you decide it
Sorry, damn autotype, when you decode it
Who am I, Alan Turing? I'm gonna need a codebreaker for all this.
Hint C U Next Tuesday
Like I said previously the precedent has been set for the next democratic speaker
I want Pipe bomb Marge and BoBitch retro censured if the MAGAs censure Green. That’s complete bullshit.
Punish MJT! Punish Trump! Punish Vance! All equally rude and liars!!
Donald Trump has made a complete joke of the USA overall. 🖕 you USA…. You are absolute trash at this point.
Yep. That trailer-trash pig Marjorie Taylor Greene spewed her bullshit while hollering like a rabid baboon for years. Hypocrites.
The ONLY Democrat in that whole bloody room who had the intestinal fortitude to do anything yesterday. Women sitting silent holding cards is exactly how the Republicans like their women. That wasn't a boss move, it was cowardice. Not 1 Dem should've stayed after Green was removed
He looked like Cash from a distance. Felt like wow! That's news!
If only we had laws protecting Green’s freedom of speech 🤔
I'm Thinking CNN forgot this "decorum" during #Biden's state of the union in 2023 and again in 2024.
GOP Rep. Daniel Newhouse is a joke. Gop Reps have constantly set a level of decorum for themselves that is beyond nasty and cruel. We see this year after year. These GOP preaching about decorum is like a Pig wallowing in mud giving advice on cleanliness.
It’s amazing how they all forget about MTG and her bullshit for years.
all democrats that were at that SOTU should have had his back by also speaking up.
He’s an embarrassment to the great state of Texas!
It’s so clear one side fights for equality, decency, humanity- and the other are just supremacist bullies! How can that even be disputed by anyone ??
The Skank twins got a by ball from the alt right republicans.
sure, why didn't they censure MTG and her big mouth when Biden spoke to Congress.
FA Republicans really aren’t good thinking this through. I know sharing one defective brain cell makes it harder. What comes next, will be the finding out.
Cry babies
Your country is a shithole
Al Green should crack Johnson's skull open with his cane.
Fuck those members of this coup against Democracy. Thank you Representative Green for doing the right thing. We have freedoms of speech in this country which Green took advantage of, read the Constitution which you all took a oath too!
How about the guy that actually attacked a female colleague ?
Asses!
Democrats did Absolutely NOTHING to punish Marjorie Taylor Green. Democrats want to play nice. Democrats want to take the higher road. Democrats don’t want to go low. Clearly it’s not working. Dems allow republicans to get away with their disruptive behavior & now it’s biting Dems in the ass!
🙄
And yet, they didn’t escort this vile person out when Joe Biden was speaking..
Well, why aren’t we celebrating free speech? it’s back isn’t it? We can all say whatever the fuck we want wherever the fuck we want to whoever the fuck we want! Go AL🙌
Badge of honor for Green.
My only question is why didn’t more Dems do the same?
Same question
Republicans want only nazis to have free speech
Banana republic,democrats been stupid for decades when repugs where changing the rules and now there is very little they can do!
Who cares? Censure has been rendered a complete joke by the GOP. They'll throw it around for sneezing during committee...if you're a Democrat.
Republicans get away with it because Democrats let them. Dems want to be the adult in the room but the room is full rabid chimps. Kudos to Mr Green
Because none of this idiots know how to govern.
If they do this, they can point to something they've, 'done.' 🙄
More Dems should have done what Green did, show the public you actually give a shit
Gop = KKK
@CNN It was disgraceful how Casey Hunt was trying hard to get GovWalz to criticize what the Democrats were doing at SOU. She asked him at least 4 ways, but Gov Walz didn’t fall for the bait. What’s up with her? I turned and won’t watch her. Dems are doing a LOT on the fronts they can. Report it.
I’ll criticize the lame signs and color coordination. But I won’t fault him for standing up and speaking the truth.
Being unruly and disruptive just is unFATHomable to members of MAGA/GOP. 🙄
The man is a hero, one of the very few prepared to put principles before himself.
Didn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene make a habit of being disruptive every time Biden spoke ?
Hypocrisy is the point.
They don't care.
I hate how sad this reality of truth is. They don't care and will ignore everything
Yes, but they can’t take what they dish out.
Indeed. Funny how there were no “election fraud” claims form Dems in Nov 2024. Clearly they are the grown-ups in the room.
Yes but they are the epitome of hypocrisy.
That bad built bitch body of a horse sure did. Ms Edna 🐴 is now her official handle just hope I don’t anger Mr Ed
Ok got it
Nah
a 3rd world country and laughing stock now
Free speech indeed.
Republican policies are as dysfunctional as the lies that go into their promotion. Democratic Rep Green presents the reality their constituents are dealing with, the ones they won’t face at town hall meetings. A punitive government with a punitive response is what the public can depend on.
Waa Boebart and MTG punished for heckling Biden?
Putin’s bitch is big mad. Bend the knee or be banished! Green is a hero!
Never mind when Marjorie Greene called the former US president a liar.
Hypocrisy! Based on the reasoning for censuring Rep Green, then Trump also needs to be punished for all the lies he told in the speech and for the nasty attacks on Democrats.
Why didn’t any Dems stand up for him? Absolutely shameful.
There were two that did. Jasmine Crockett was one of them, but she was higher up in the audience. She wore a resist shirt.
Two îs not enough. Pelosi, schiff, so many big names were right next to Green and just did NOTHING.
I don’t disagree. We are cussing Schiff out for this.
Al Green is a hero. Democrats should give him a special honor for what he did.
Yes at least he stood up, all of the Democrats should have walked out instead of sitting there !!
At least the few sitting next to him at very least. What on earth do they think is happening... business as usual? it is maddening.
Democracy screaming it's last in USA.
Punish him for what? Don't you have free speech in the USA? 🤔 J D Vance will be very upset when he hears about this.
For fuck sakes CNN!! Let me remind you of Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene and how they acted at another SOTU address in 2022. What are you afraid of?
Fuck them and their punishment. Punish their traitorous leader!
Party free speech?
Yes. If you're in their party, you get free speech.
What about MTG & LB!
🤣🤣😂
Yet MTG and Boebert repeatedly attacked Biden verbally during his SOTU. Ya can’t have it both ways Republican sycophants!!!
They are all bullies!
Lol. Those fuckers mean nothing to Al Green. I’M WITH AL GREEN @algreen.house.gov
And cnn is right behind them
I’m starting to see that too
Funny how the yelling rude green and Boubert were never removed
Thank you to him for standing for democracy and freedom of speech
Freaking regime!
It's interesting how the House is prioritizing punishment over discussion. Disruption can often reflect deeper frustrations. Maybe they should consider the underlying issues prompting such actions instead of just silencing dissent.
Outrageous, but more of the same. Thank you to Rep. Green for your efforts to save us from this madness!
Get out on the street. Now
F the so called republicans they are MAGATS
Where’s the mention of MTG disrupting so many times. Hypocrites! And talk about decorum, would not telling the truth be part of that and not slamming a party with hate and such. Fuck him
I was glad one of the Democrats made some noise.
MTG wasn't removed when she booed Obama. Johnson, Vance, and Trump are all Putin's chickensh*t puppets bsky.app/profile/your...
