(Washington, DC) — Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green is being censured by the House.
During President Trump’s speech Tuesday night, Green stood in the aisle of the House chamber and waved his cane at the president.
He continued his protest despite being warned that he’d be removed if he didn’t sit down. Ten Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Green.
It is a formal reprimand but is merely ceremonial and does not come with consequences.
