They better “go to war” for him.

Agree. It's time that we see elected Dems stand for something and to fight for what's right. Except for Green himself, AOC, Crockett, and a few others, most Dems have been too busy begging for money to fight for us.

I agree! But it begs the question why aren’t they “going to war” for the rest of us to protect our democracy? I understand that there are numerous lawsuits that have been filed. The only problem with that is that Trump is the master of kicking the can down the road to wiggle out of lawsuits!

They better go to war now or the Trumpers will come after any Dem who “steps out of order”. And that would make the dictatorship complete.

The gutless democrats are responsible for everything that’s happened to Green. Jeffries unwillingness to show courage by having every democrat representative stand up and protest in turn would have stopped Trump and Johnson in their tracks and would have shown America and the world we have the courage to fight.

We need new leadership in both the House and Senate, leaders with guts.

I agree. This is no time for politeness. An immigrant is in the loose in our govt firing federal employees and stealing data.

The Dems need to be condemning every action !!

This is SERIOUS!!

The GOP is ready and willing to turn over all power to trump-musk, forsake our allies for Putin and hurt the majority of Americans.

This IS political war!!

Democrats are always quiet about what their brewing. Methinks it almost time for the show...

I hope you’re right. I have often wondered if there’s a strategy cooking on the back burner.

Absolutely. Young, aggressive, whip smart, and not afraid to speak truth to power. Schumer et al. Need to take a back seat.

The old guard need to retire and make way for young blood who will stand up and fight those trumpian traitors!

I think that stinks! Al Green responded to the censure in the well of the House and explained why he did it - to support his constituents and to object to the president calling Democrats "Lunatics." Al Green was right! If the Democrats do not go all out to support him, they might as well just give it up now. The republicans are disgusting.

Trump should have been censured for the language he used deriding various democrats including President Biden and others. Why didn’t democrats censure MJT for her outbursts at Biden’s State of the Union? Dems need to get organized and get tougher. We need someone like OAS or Crockett as leaders in the house.

Jeff Urdank's avatar

Yes we do. Oh, and it’s AOC just for the record.✊🇺🇦🇺🇸😎

Al Green deserves to keep his positions, all of them Congressional and Committees. Kick the arses of any that try this, Gooper's or 10 Dems. Lifetime Democrat and my Dad too.

House Democrats should declare war on every GOP measure in the Senate and House

especially by not supporting Johnson and the detrimental act that he wants to pass. Hopefully he will not get votes from the dems!

They should’ve “gone to war” when he was kicked out of that stupid trump rally and when he was censored for telling the truth.

Kate Madison's avatar

At long last! Perhaps now the Dems will straighten their spines to support one of their most courageous members--even those who had the gall to vote to censure him. Where are the Dems of yore--FDR's new deal Democrats--who fought to help the "little guys" and against the robber barons? We are waiting! Meantime, thank you Jamie Raskin, Praymila Jayapal, Robert Garcia, Jasmine Crockett, AOC and "the Squad." And, of course, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the Senate.

Then MTG and BOBO the clown need to go too!!!!!

Laura Adams's avatar

I already feel so angry that 10 Democrats voted for the censure. When they walked Al Green out of the speech, every Democrat should’ve gotten up and walked out with him. As a forever Democrat, I expect them to go to war for Al Green.

Michael Solis's avatar

A Man stood up for his Country. That Man needs help now. Every Democrat, & that means EVERY Democrat better stand alongside this Man. Sound General Quarters!

Deborah L Steinmetz's avatar

Democrats should fight for Al Green, all the way!!!

OldCrustyCyclist's avatar

Jim Himes is not from a vulnerable district, nor one that Trump won. What’s up with this blue maga propaganda?

M K's avatar

Nothing absolutely nothing should be taken away from Representative Al Green.

The Democrats better support him FULLY.

Pretty disgusting that there were TEN democrats who voted to censure him and NOW we’re hearing they’re going to FIGHT? They could have started by NOT voting for the censorship in the first place. I’m so disgusted with the Democratic Party with the exception of AOC, Crockett, and now Green!

Pamela R. Daniels's avatar

Fight for him! Fight for Al Green, as if you were fighting for the first amendment, because House Democrats you are. We are watching!
