The U.S. House on Thursday voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, for repeatedly disrupting President Donald Trump near the beginning of Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.
Ten Democrats joined all Republicans in voting in favor of the censure resolution.
Green stood up and began shouting at the president during Tuesday’s address only to be drowned out by Republican chants of “USA.” After warnings from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and refusing to sit down so Trump could continue, the sergeant at arms escorted the Democrat from the chamber.
Green was widely criticized for his actions, including by some Democrats.
