'Remove this gentleman from the chamber': Johnson kicks out Dem rep for shouting at Trump

During the first few minutes of President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) stood up and yelled at him, pointing his cane at the speaker's dais.
Trump had been speaking about the size of his 2024 election victory, in which he had the smallest margin of victory among all popular vote winners since 2000. At that point, many Democrats started loudly booing, prompting Republicans to drown them out by chanting "USA! USA!"
However, Green continued to yell at Trump after he resumed his speech, which led to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) giving Democrats a "warning" to stop. When Green refused, Johnson then deployed security staff to forcibly carry him out. Republicans could be heard chanting "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" as Green was removed.

"The chair now directs the sergeant-at-arms to restore order," Johnson said. "Remove this gentleman from the chamber!"
