Al Green's removal has led social media users to call it a "double standard" after past Republican hecklers of Democratic presidents were allowed to stay.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was removed from the State of the Union Address after shouting back at President Donald Trump during the address. While the House considers pursuing a censure against him, Green is preparing his articles of impeachment for Trump.
Six minutes into President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday, Texas Rep. Al Green, a Democrat, was removed from the House chamber after he interrupted Trump and refused to take his seat. Green’s removal was the latest in a series of partisan heckling events that have marked recent presidential addresses to Congress.
