    Trumpies: how dare you recognize a group of humans to not be another species of primate. /s

    Feels like we’ve reverted back to the early 1900s, too often these days.

    Every democrat in that room should stand up and walk out for them attacking Green like this.

  3. Not sure kicking out a black person for holding up a “black people aren’t apes” sign sends the kind of message they want it to.

    …nevermind. I’m sure it sends *exactly* the kind of message they want it to.

  4. How come Marge and Grandma Lauren were not ejected when they were heckling Biden?

    Oh right. Double standards Everyone has to kiss the dear leader’s orange ass or else.

  5. DNC leadership doesn’t understand that if the Democrats were legit heckling Trump here with brutal zingers that it would gain them votes. Literally nobody in either political party gives a rat’s ass about decorum.

  6. Why wouldn’t every decent person leave in protest when any member of Congress was ejected for holding up such a sign?

  7. Someone needs to yell “TRUMP RAPED KIDS” during a period of silence to make that orange fuck’s blood clot dislodge

  8. At least 80 million people in this country disagree with him. This is how evil America is and how much black people are disrespected and denigrated 

  9. All of us are apes technically, but good on him for calling a racist a racist. Fuck the GOP for being such little snowflakes.

  10. Jeffries is such a fucking pussy for telling dem senators not to interrupt. Schumer and him need to fucking go.

    I didn’t vote for Jeffries, he shouldn’t be telling my state senator how to act in the SOTU.

    Fuck him

    So much for free speech. Obama didn’t eject Wilson and Biden didn’t eject MTG and Boebert, but Mango Mussollini eject someone for THIS?

  12. Love how over the years greene and boebert would should and Cajole Biden but this is too far. Thanks Al for all you try to do

  13. Democrats not banding together and leaving with Al Green is just one of the many reasons that rational people have lost faith in the DNC.

  14. It’s ritual for him to get ejected at this point, and I’ve realized he’s the smartest guy there. He gets kicked out so he can just go home and do something that isn’t listening to an orange goblin lie.

  15. Trump posts a video to hundreds of millions equating Obama’s to apes, and he gets to continue to do whatever on social media and the Internet, then gets invited to the Congress.

    A black representative holds a sign that illustrates such blatant racism, and he gets kicked out? What country are we living?

  16. So by ejecting him, Trump and co are saying that they disagree that black people aren’t apes?
