No. They didn’t forget. They’re terrified of Trump and they’re rabid base. Pretty simple. 😎

When Rep Green was removed Democrats went silent.They should have been noisy and forced their own removal one by one.Taken focus from Donnie.They would have been the story.Decorum be damned.He has destroyed our country.Why do they go silent.

They didn't go silent. Many of them had their backs turned to Trump. Others held up signs. Large numbers of them walked out. Trump got booed by Democrats several times during the speech. Democrats seem to have had a plan to protest throughout.---Jason

They were far too silent and their silly signs were largely missed. Much of the media coverage did not focus on the signs or back turning, etc. It took an act like Rep. Green's to draw a reaction, and we needed far more of that. The Dems need to stop their incessant hand wringing and get to work.

Doesn't seem to have been enough. Time to take the gloves off and get down and dirty.

A showing of complete solidarity would have made a stronger point. I think that the statement made by by only one Dem walking out was less effective than having more walk out. Okay, let some stay but numbers count.

Really, that form of protest did not do crap..little signs, WTF, Some half hearted booos. Every time the RepubliCONs screamed USA, AThe dems the should have yelled TRAITORS TRAITORS TRAITORS.

Why were they even there. AL was the only one who had the balls to do what needed to be done.

If the democratics don't come up with a better protest than what we saw last night, we are going to lose in 2028 because we are showing the American public, we don't have the courage to FIGHT fire with fire.

I applaud Rep. Green for calling out the lies and hypocrisy!

Pat Kahn's avatar

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It would have been great!

I’m sure Mr. Green will welcome the censure! The more attention drawn to him stating reality, the better!

Merlene Smith's avatar

Then CENSURE MARGERY TOILET GREEN WITH HIM!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮

Bravo to Representative Al Green! Now we need every Dem in Congress to do the same. The soul of our country is in peril.

Hypocrites. Censure the rethuglicans that heckled Joe Biden.

Douglass Abramson's avatar

Don't forget the idiot who yelled "You lie!" at the top of his lungs at Obama, during a State of the Union; or Justice Alito shaking his head and muttering at Obama from his front row seat during another. No censures or resolutions there either.

Leave him alone. Trump didn’t get punished for all his convictions

House Republicans are nothing if not hypocrites….

House Republicans need to focus on serving : " WE THE PEOPLE"

Charlotte Sanders's avatar

It’s udder hypocrisy and I’m tired of the double standards!!

There is an elemental evil in the hearts of some Republicans, who are fed from the top down. They would welcome lynchings, for this is symbolic of those atrocities. These are white supremacists, settling their score, for now.

When did Americans get so mean, hateful and selfish? All the red thugs cheering and screaming over an agenda that will only hurt them and their loved ones. "When you don't listen, you feel." I heard that thousands of time from my mother while I was growing up.

RIDICULOUS. If these clowns had stood up and impeached Shitler our country wouldn’t be going down the toilet now. The Hypocrisy Party.

Lisa Pickard's avatar

If we do not stand up for Rep Green.Democrats will loose me they should have stood up and walked out.That was disgraceful that not one democrat walked out with rep Green!!!!!

Melissa Smith's avatar

I am not surprised, they're pretty petulant cry babies who want to destroy America. It's par for the course for them.

This is bullshit. Rep. Green has freedom of speech rights, just like every loudmouthed Republican. Preacher Johnson’s just mad at Green because he previously announced plans to bring articles of impeachment against the mango mobster.

From Fox News (of all places!):

Democratic Rep Al Green told reporters it was 'worth it' to disrupt Trump's speech.

Green doubled down on impeaching President Donald Trump following his disruption and removal from the president’s address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Green, a longtime critic of Trump, told reporters after being removed that he was working on articles of impeachment against the president and defended his outburst at the start of Trump’s speech.

"This president is unfit," Green said. "He should not hold the office."
