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!!

Jeffries has guts. The Dems need to fight louder and harder. And maybe find a billionaire who supports them?

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.

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.

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.

Shows how scared the GOPers are of every person’s individual choices whether in Congress or not. They are an immediate threat to ALL of us, no matter which party. Another point: if a white person had done what Al Green did, would they have reacted like that? What about MTGreene? She is louder than anyone. And WRONG!

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.

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.

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

Posted the same about Ed Case of Hawaii. I suppose I can look up all the rest of them to ensure factual reporting, but not my job to fact check substacks. It is however, the job of the author to ensure what they are posting is accurate and not what you called correctly "blue Maga propaganda".
