"You have no mandate to cut Medicaid," Rep. Al Green yelled while pointing his cane toward Trump.
WASHINGTON ― Just minutes into President Donald Trump’s remarks to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted from the chamber after causing a disturbance.
As Trump spoke, Green rose from his seat and yelled, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid.” Republicans immediately started yelling for Green to sit down as he pointed his cane at Trump.
Trump tried to continue speaking, but Republicans, in an effort to drown out Green, began chanting, “USA, USA, USA!”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) spoke up to warn Green the sergeant-at-arms would take him away if he did not end his disturbance.
“Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions,” Johnson said. “That’s your warning.”
