Alabama Congressman signs on to censure ‘disrespectful’ Democrat for interrupting Trump
Alabama Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, says he will co-sponsor a resolution to censure Rep. AL Green, D-TX, for shouting during President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress Tuesday.
Moore said on X, that he would co-sponsor a resolution led by Rep. Troy Nehls, R-TX, to censure Green. Moore said Green’s actions were, “disrespectful and worthy of a censure.”
Green, 77, shouted during Trump’s speech that the president has, “no mandate to cut Medicaid.”
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson warned Green to take a seat before ordering the sergeant-at-arms to remove Green from the House chamber.
A censure is a formal statement displaying public disapproval of a Congress member’s actions.
According to Fox News, a draft of the resolution’s text says that Green, “willfully disrupted the joint session, remained defiant,” and ”brought disrepute to the United States Congress.”
Nehls is expected to officially announce the legislation later on Wednesday.
