"The president's address to tonight's joint session of Congress is a constitutional obligation — not a sideshow for Democrats to use noisemakers, make threats, throw things or otherwise disrupt. Our colleagues are on notice that the heckler's veto will not be tolerated," the group said in a statement. "You will be censured. We expect the Sergeant at Arms and Capitol Police to take appropriate action against any members of Congress or other persons violating House rules."
Green was removed from the House chamber after shouting at the president while he was speaking about the mandate the voters gave him with his win in November. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., had urged members of his party to avoid disrupting the event.
When Green continued to shout, Johnson hit his gavel and said that representatives were "directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning."
