House Republicans move to censure Rep. Al Green for disrupting Trump speech

Washington — House Republicans are moving to punish Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas after he heckled President Trump on Tuesday during his address to a joint session of Congress. 

Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington introduced a resolution on Wednesday to censure Green for the disruption. Newhouse is one of two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. 

The resolution was introduced as "privileged," which forces the House to vote on the matter within two legislative days. It says Green's behavior "was a breach of proper conduct."
