Democratic Representative Al Green interrupted former President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday, leading to his removal from the House chamber. Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Green’s removal, citing repeated violations of House decorum. At the start of his speech, Trump stated, "The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades." Green interrupted, shouting, "You have no mandate." In response, Republican members stood and chanted, "USA! USA!" Authorities then escorted Green out of the chamber.

As Green was being led out, Republican lawmakers called out phrases such as "Get out!" and "Goodbye!" Green continued to protest, shouting, "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!"



After Green’s removal, Trump resumed his speech, reaffirming his commitment to strengthening America’s position domestically and internationally. The Republican members expressed strong support for his remarks, reinforcing their backing of his policy agenda.

Democrats Stage Silent Protest

While no other Democratic lawmakers disrupted the speech, some silently protested by holding small circular black placards with white text. The messages included "Protect Veterans," "Save Medicaid," "False," and "Musk Steals." As Trump began speaking, these members raised their signs higher.
