‘Black people aren’t apes’: AI Green thrown out of Trump’s SOTU, Steve Scalise rips his protest sign

Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green was escorted out of President Trump’s State of the Union after silently holding up a sign reading “Black people aren’t apes,” in protest of a controversial video Trump shared of Barack and Michelle Obama. The moment sparked a dramatic scene as Republican lawmakers tried to grab the placard before Green was led from the House chamber.Trump continued his address amid chants and partisan tension, while Democrats largely remained seated in quiet dissent. Green later explained his action was to confront racial insensitivity and challenge the normalization of racist imagery.
