House censures Rep. Al Green for speech disruption

nbcnews.com

The House voted 224-198 to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, for disrupting President Trump's speech on Tuesday. Ten Democrats joined Republicans in the vote, while Green voted present. He will face the censure reading in the House chamber. Green interrupted Trump by shouting about Medicaid during the address, leading to his removal from the chamber. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans criticized Green's actions, which were part of a broader Democratic protest. Censure is a formal disapproval but does not strip a member of their rights. The last censure was of former Rep. Jamaal Bowman in December 2023 for pulling a fire alarm.
