The House voted to censure Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas for interrupting President Donald Trump's speech on Tuesday. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) joins MSNBC to discuss this and a House Republicans’ social media account calling him an “illegal immigrant.

Rep. Al Green was kicked out of the joint session of Congress Tuesday night after heckling the president over Medicaid.

Texas, said Tuesday that his removal from the House chamber during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress was “worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up” to the president’s proposed cuts to Medicaid,

Kaptur said she supports Green's protest of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security spending cuts, but the House Chamber was an inappropriate place to do it.

Several Democrats boycotted Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress. Others wore pink outfits as a symbol of protest or held signs with messages including “Save Medicaid” and “Musk steals.” The most dramatic protest came near the start of Trump’s speech,

Rep. Al Green defended his protest during President Trump’s joint address, saying he was speaking out against Medicaid cuts and is prepared to face consequences. He accused Trump of retaliation and warned that Democrats must balance civility with strong opposition as rights and freedoms are at risk.

The U.S. House Thursday voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for shouting during President Donald Trump's speech to Congress that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Ten Democrats voted with Republicans.

Four minutes into Trump’s address Tuesday, it was clear that Jeffries’s guidance wasn’t being heeded. Rep. Al Green of Texas stood up and shouted “no mandate to cut Medicaid!” while waving his cane at the president. After several warnings, he was then removed from the chamber.

Rep. Green said his interruptions of Trump were "spontaneous" but he would do it again because he's guided by his conscience not the opinions of colleagues.
