House censures Rep. Al Green for heckling Trump speech

The vote to censure Green was 224–198. Ten of the lawmaker’s fellow Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the punishment, which consisted of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reading the censure out loud to Green.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus sang the civil rights protest song “We Shall Overcome” as Johnson finished, spurring a handful of Republicans to yell “order!”

“Shame on you!” Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Joyce Beatty yelled at GOP representatives.

Johnson ordered Green ejected from the House chamber on Tuesday night after the Texan loudly interrupted Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress and refused to sit down.
