Speaker Johnson: Censure Rep. Green for Speech 'Spectacle'
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Tuesday night that Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, deserves to be censured for his "absolutely shameful" disruptions during President Donald Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress.
"He should be censured," Johnson told The Hill shortly after Trump's speech ended. "It's a spectacle that was not necessary. He's made history in a terrible way, and I hope he enjoys it."
A resolution to censure Green is expected, as the board of the conservative House Freedom Caucus said before Trump's speech that it would censure any House Democrat who interrupted him.
