SCOOP: Resolution punishing Al Green circulates House after Dem is thrown out of Trump speech

Multiple resolutions to censure Rep. Al Green are expected to circulate this week after he was thrown out of President Donald Trump's speech.

He shouted, "You have no mandate," at Trump as he touted Republican victories in the House, Senate and White House.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, had Green removed by the U.S. Sergeant-At-Arms.

Green remained defiant when he stopped to speak with the White House press pool on the first floor of the U.S. Capitol after being thrown out of the second floor House chamber where Trump was speaking.

"I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me. I didn't say to anyone, don't punish me. I've said I'll accept the punishment," Green said, according to the White House press pool report.

"But it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security."

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-LA, told Fox News Digital that leadership would be "looking at" whether to punish Green.

Johnson signaled to reporters on Tuesday night that such a move would have his support.

Fox News Digital reached out to Green's office for a response but did not immediately hear back.
