@pbsnews: On Thursday, Rep. Al Green of Texas was censured for disrupting President Donald Trump's address to Congress Tuesday night. After shouting "you have no mandate" at the president and refusing to be seated, Green was removed from the House chamber during the address. Green said that his removal was “worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up” to the president’s proposed cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. The vote to censure him was 224-198, largely falling along party lines. Dozens of House Democrats rallied around Green, standing beside him on the chamber floor and sang a rendition of "We Shall Overcome,” while House Speaker Mike Johnson tried to bring the House to order several times. Lisa Desjardins breaks down the censure process and the events that unfolded. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #congress #algreen #house #medicaid #medicare #socialsecurity

I stand behind Al Green, and I'm ashamed of those democrats for voting to censure him! WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED! This is a civil war, whether you believe it or not. We must fight back in every way possible!

PBS evidently doesn’t remember Marjorie Taylor Green disrupting Biden. 🙄. No one censured her, and she was far more disrespectful. Dems need to step up their opposition!

I’m disappointed PBS. There weren’t “dozens” & no mention of MTGs’ outbursts. I wonder why she wasn’t censored.

MTG and other republicans yelled out far more disruptively at Biden’s speech last year. We’ve seen in it very recent times by the same people currently condemning It.

Something we haven’t seen in modern times for real? The Republicans shouted at Biden and Obama during their state of the union addresses. This is not new.

I called my representatives today and voiced my support for Al Green. I told them we need more tenacity standing against these bullies who are not playing by the rules. We must resist. And they need to do more.
