Al Green

Al Green is a US Congressman who has been a member of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives since 2008. He gained notoriety for his outspoken views on social issues, particularly civil rights. Recently, he was ejected from President Donald Trump's State of the Union address for holding up a sign criticizing Trump's remarks about Barack and Michelle Obama, which were deemed racist by many. This incident marks the second year in a row that Green has been removed from the annual event. The controversy surrounding Trump's comments on Obama and his wife highlights the deepening partisan divide in the US, with many Democrats viewing Trump's words as an attempt to delegitimize the former President. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, Green's actions have sparked a national conversation about racism, free speech, and the role of politicians in addressing social injustices.
