Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was escorted out of the House chamber Tuesday night after disrupting President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress.
Green, a longtime advocate for Trump’s impeachment, stood up and waved his cane at the president just minutes into the speech.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reminded members to maintain decorum, but when Green refused to back down, Johnson ordered the sergeant at arms to remove him. As Green was escorted out, Republicans mockingly chanted, “Nah nah nah nah, goodbye.”
