Wed Mar 05 07:32:20 UTC 2025: ## Texas Congressman Ejected from Congress During Trump’s Speech
**Washington D.C.** – A dramatic scene unfolded during President Donald Trump’s historically long address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night when Texas Representative Al Green was forcibly removed from the House chamber. Green, a Democrat, interrupted the speech shouting, “You don’t have a mandate!” His protest, directed at the President’s claims of popular support, was met with immediate rebuke from Republican Representative Nancy Mace, who shouted, “Sit your a** down!”
The outburst, which occurred early in the marathon speech, prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson to order the sergeant-at-arms to remove Green from the chamber. Johnson cited “willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum” as the reason for the ejection.
Green, a vocal critic of the President who previously called for his impeachment, defended his actions to reporters afterward. He stated his protest was a necessary response to Trump’s assertion of a mandate to cut Medicaid, a healthcare program serving 80 million low-income Americans. “It’s worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president,” Green declared. He indicated he was prepared to face any disciplinary action from House leadership, who have reportedly called for his censure.
The incident set a tense tone for the remainder of the evening. While Republicans occupied the chamber with enthusiastic support, Democrats remained largely silent, though employing subtle forms of protest. Some displayed signs advocating for Medicaid and veterans’ benefits, while a number of female Democratic legislators, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wore pink attire as a show of solidarity. The contrasting reactions underscored the deep partisan divisions currently dominating American politics.
