Social media erupts after House Dem Al Green interrupted Trump's address: 'Embarrassing themselves'

Reactions poured in as Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was removed from the House chamber for protesting in the middle of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night.

"Al Green is a disgrace," Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., tweeted. "[Trump] won the election. #47."

"Speaker Mike Johnson just ordered the Sergeant at Arms to forcibly remove Rep. Al Green for breaking rules of decorum in the House Chamber. Good for the Speaker. Al Green is a clown," Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted on X.

"Rep. Al Green has been a gadfly his entire time in Congress. He purposefully disrupted in order to get removed… shameful conduct, but absolutely not surprising," American Encore President Sean Noble stated on X.

"I am disgusted. This is disgusting behavior on the part of democrats," Megan McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, said on X. "Get a grip. You’re in congress."

He was far from the only one making a statement on Tuesday night, as many of the Democratic women in the chamber wore pink in uniform, and Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., briefly held up a sign behind the president stating "This is not normal." The sign was quickly taken away by Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas.
