The racist aspect of this is also not lost on me. One brave older black man speaks up and is led out and NOT ONE of his colleagues goes with him. Then he is censured, and is stabbed in the back by a group of mostly white. colleagues. Jfc.

Exactly my thought! Two obnoxious white women - Greene and Boebert, heckle the shit out of Biden's SOTU speech and receive no punishment. Rep. Al Green, solely stands, raised his cane and passionately speaks against fascism and is punished. @algreen.house.gov

Yes, and there is a very long history (Hello, Tennessee) of black folks who speak out being accused of "disrupting" legislatures or Congress , removed from the room and then censured or worse.

Excellent point. All these comments on here saying we must have rules, but watch as Trump burns down America. What about rules for Trump? He is breaking laws every day, and I don’t hear any of these people speaking out against him. But they do attack Al Green for speaking out.

I feel like this optic needs to be talked about more for sure. I definitely let three of the 10 know about this on their page as they decided to open their mouths after the fact. They deserve that humiliation as people are getting killed. Because we don't hear about that. But they are.

Exactly! I thought the same. The fact that no dems walked out with him is a BIG thing. But, also, no dems accompanied him, given his senior age. Shocking really.

My first thought was racism. Carrying an older black Congressman out of the Chamber was vile. And not one dem stood up with him.

We are such a racist & sexist country & can thank the corrupt cheeto wanna be strong man & SA nazi for bringing the worst elements of society out from under the rug (“there’s very fine people on both sides”).

I hope the Democrats who voted to censure Al Green are proud of themselves, because they sure have a lot to Jim Crow about.
