Al Green Got Ejected From the House Chamber...and Here's the Sign He Showed Trump

President Trump’s State of the Union is happening as we speak. It’s set to be an epic one, and the longest in American history. If Trump is saying it will be long, you know it’s time to relax, sit, and have a drink. Be prepared for this address to wrap up around midnight.  

Yet, as we entered the chamber, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) unveiled a sign in front of the president as he made his way toward Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance. It had to be something ridiculous because Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) ripped it down. It said, “black people aren’t apes.”  

Green being kicked out was a mortal lock—it’s not the first time this man was escorted from the chamber. Not long after Trump began his remarks, he was ejected.  

He barely lasted 10 minutes. That’s not courage; that’s a tantrum. That’s intolerance. That’s mental illness.
