President Donald Trump made it about four minutes into his first speech to Congress before a Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Al Green, began shouting that he should be impeached. Green, a 77-year-old Texan who carries a cane and is known inside the US Capitol for his ardent anti-Trump bent, was removed from the House chamber. Speaker Mike Johnson, who sat behind Trump, gave a verbal warning to Green, who earlier this year went to the floor of the same chamber to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump. The speaker ultimately broke into the president’s speech and summoned Capitol officials to remove the 11-term member from his seat. But it’s not just Green who has sought ways to channel his party’s intense frustration at Trump during Tuesday night’s speech. Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico held a sign as Trump walked in that read “This is not normal” — which a GOP lawmaker ripped out of her hands. Stansbury later joined a group of other progressives. “There’s only so much bullshit a person can tolerate,” Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a freshman Democrat, posted on X after she walked out of the chamber. And in a highly unusual move, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries instructed his members to use restraint in their applause of Trump, according to two members familiar with the matter.
