Democrats Join GOP in Censuring Rep. Al Green as Shouting Match Erupts on the House Floor

In a dramatic display of congressional discord, Rep. Al Green (D–TX) has now been officially censured for his disruptive behavior during President Trump’s joint address to Congress—a move that has ignited chaos on the House floor and deepened partisan divisions. The censure vote, held less than two days after Green was forcibly removed from the chamber for his outburst, passed in a 224-198 vote on Thursday morning, marking another significant chapter in the ongoing battle over decorum in Congress.

A Disruption That Sparked a National Debate
During President Trump’s 90-minute address—a speech that revisited his administration’s past achievements and outlined an ambitious future agenda—Rep. Green made headlines for all the wrong reasons. As the president passionately discussed topics ranging from border security to economic reforms, Green, a 20-year House veteran known for his fiery rhetoric, abruptly stood up in protest. Shaking his cane and vocally challenging the president’s mandate, Green’s actions broke with established protocol and quickly drew the ire of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R–LA).
