AI Summary

medium article 2 min

During Trump's State of the Union address, Democratic Congressman Al Green was escorted out for the second consecutive year. Green silently protested by displaying a sign reading "Black people aren’t apes!" referencing a racist video shared by Trump. Republican representatives attempted to block the sign and engaged with Green as he was escorted out. Other Democrats protested by remaining seated during the speech, contrasting with Republicans who repeatedly stood and applauded. Green, a vocal critic of Trump and advocate for civil rights, stated his removal was inconsequential and he would continue to stand for what he believes is right. He was the first member of Congress to call for Trump's impeachment in 2017.
