House GOP moves swiftly to punish Rep. Al Green for disrupting Trump speech

House Republicans are immediately moving to punish the Texas Democrat who was removed from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting President Donald Trump’s speech. GOP Rep. Daniel Newhouse on Wednesday formally introduced a censure resolution against Rep. Al Green, who was removed by the House sergeant at arms after standing up and shouting during the opening minutes of Trump’s speech to Congress. Speaking on the House floor, Newhouse, a Washington state Republican, said he was seeking punishment against Green — a formal condemnation once considered rare in the House chamber — for his “numerous interruptions” of the president’s speech. “This was beyond the pale. It went on and on, disrupting the entire evening so I felt it had to be responded to,” Newhouse said of Green’s interruption. “We have to uphold the expectations of decorum here, or else, what are we? We have nothing other than just a club that everybody comes and yells at each other.” It’s a big moment for Newhouse, a GOP centrist who previously drew the ire of some in his party for voting to impeach Trump in 2021 and has done little to draw attention to himself since surviving a competitive election against a fellow Republican last cycle. #news #new #whowasremovedfromtrumpspeech #trump #freespeech #representativealgreen ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Instagram:
