On February 25, 2026, Democratic Representative Al Green was ejected from President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. The ejection occurred after Green displayed a sign that read, "Black people are not apes." The sign was a direct response to a post made earlier in February on Trump's Truth Social account. The post in question depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. Green's actions and subsequent removal highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding race and political discourse.
