“The House will vote today on a GOP resolution to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX),” Punchbowl News reports.
“During the biggest night of the Washington calendar, in which tens of millions of people tuned into the Capitol, the 77-year-old Green was ejected from the House chamber after he waved his cane, screamed at Trump and refused to relent when Speaker Mike Johnson asked.”
“The House Democratic leadership had asked rank-and-file members to sit somberly during Trump’s address to Congress. Instead, in addition to Green’s outburst, a number of Democrats booed and hissed at Trump. Scores held signs berating Trump and mega billionaire Elon Musk.”
“Top Democrats wanted to keep the fight with Trump and Republicans about policy. Leadership suggested that they keep the focus on Trump, the massive wave of DOGE-related layoffs, slashing Medicaid and tax cuts for the rich.”
“Yet this week will end with the Green censure vote and a burst of internal Democratic Caucus infighting over how best to counter Trump, who they all loathe but can’t seem to beat (at least not right now).”
