The House Voted to Censure Al Green

“For a guy who’s about to be censured, I’m doing alright,” Green told NOTUS Thursday morning.

The House voted Thursday morning to censure Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green after he interrupted President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress earlier this week.

Ten Democrats joined all Republican members in voting to censure Green. Two Democrats — including Green himself — voted present.

House Speaker Mike Johnson directed sergeant-at-arms staff to remove Green from the House chamber less than five minutes into Trump’s address Tuesday night, after Green stood up and said Trump has “no mandate to cut Medicaid.”
