In a historic move, the House of Representatives has voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) following his disruptive antics during President Trump’s powerful address to Congress. With a vote tally of 224-198, every Republican stood united, joined by a remarkable 10 Democrats who crossed party lines to uphold decorum and respect for the presidency.

The bold Democrats who sided with Republicans were:

  • Ami Bera of California
  • Ed Case of Hawaii
  • Jim Costa of California
  • Laura Gillen of New York
  • Jim Himes of Connecticut
  • Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania
  • Marcy Kaptur of Ohio
  • Jared Moskowitz of Florida
  • Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
  • Tom Suozzi of New York

In an unexpected twist, Democrats responded to the censure vote by launching into a rendition of “We Shall Overcome” right on the House floor, a spectacle captured for all to see.

Just yesterday, the House made the decisive move to censure Rep. Green after his refusal to adhere to decorum during President Trump’s address led to intervention by the House Sergeant at Arms. Representative Green was escorted out, highlighting the importance of maintaining respect in governmental proceedings.

Previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Speaker Mike Johnson took decisive action to uphold order, removing Green after his continued disruptions during the President’s address—a speech aimed at articulating the administration’s successes and plans for the future.

Despite being warned, Green’s insistence on disturbing the session led to Speaker Johnson directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort him out. Green, known for announcing articles of impeachment against Trump for alleged “dastardly deeds,” continued his defiance even after being expelled, doubling down on his stance.

This compelling development is an ongoing story. Stay tuned for updates as the situation unfolds.
