  1. Every dem should be taking turns (correctly) calling Trump a pedophile and being escorted out. That would genuinely boost their image among voters. But no, Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t want to risk upsetting daddy Trump. Pathetic. 

    Context: Jeffries specifically said to be quiet. Not even booing. Doing absolutely nothing to disrupt the speech and throw Trump off. He’s up there lying freely. 

  2. Bodying a black man out of the room is a hell of bad look. Every democrat in the room should have gotten up and followed him out.

    There’s clearly no room for an old black man at this event. The crazier old white man is totally okay. This is America. Many people here don’t accept this inconvenient truth.

    It’s a crying shame Al Green went and did something so stupid……as forgetting to bring signs for everyone.

  5. > Rep. Al Green was escorted out of the chamber during President Trump’s State of the Union while holding a sign saying “Black people aren’t apes!”

    Well trump has a huge ignorance gap when it comes to science. Can’t even tell the difference between man and beast.

  6. Trying to watch this clown of a president, he makes me sick. Good for Al Green for having a spine.

    That is crazy that they would remove a congressman from the SOTU but not remove trump???
    No one cop, security guard, sergeant in arms, SS agent, or even military generals will do their jobs and remove trump.

    I guess Al Green is too black to be there.
    Every democrat should stand up and walk out right now with Green. They are all babies if they dont leave now.

  8. If I had a nickel for every time Al Green was forcibly removed from a State of The Union address, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

  9. Good for you. This should have been every decent American, so most of the Democrats and Bernie.

    It seemed more like a protest and voluntary walk out than a removal. Which, after last year, was rather anticlimactic imo.

  11. Let me guess, the Democratic cowards are gonna censure him again? God, this whole thing is very deja vu.

    Who could blame him?

    What Trump’s saying is a bunch of lies anyways. He claims that mortgage prices have gone down and “got better”, and inflation is being reduced.

    Edit: Not to mention, he stated that due to all the tariffs he has imposed, America is now in its “golden age”.

    They literally escorted anti-racism signage being held up by a US Congressman from the premises. This administration is so disgusting and pathetic.

  14. All of the Dems should have prevented him being removed or walked out with him. Ridiculous to allow Steve Scalise to assault him and take the sign. Ridiculous to allow him to be removed.
    We need fighters and leaders, instead we have “meh”.

  15. If only CBS News could have told the story omitting completely any reference to the Black People Aren’t Apes sign, they would have. Other outlets put the explanation in their headline. CBS News all but buried it. Sucking the mushroom til the bitter end.

    The amount of pearls being clutched in this thread is astounding. Black man holds up a sign: “oh my, the decorum, the civility” Orange man rapes kids: “don’t talk about that”

  17. Al Green was the most patriotic member of Congress tonight.

    God bless Al Green.
    Fuck Donald Trump.

    And yet MTG and Boebert could yell “liar” during Biden’s address and they were allowed to stay. It’s almost as if the crowd that says “fuck your feelings, snowflake!” are awful sensitive to facts…

  19. I think what one has for a sign or message is very important when doing this and his we are not apes was a good one.

    The democrats should not sit their and be lied on and disrespected, they should collectively walk out

    Damn he makes me glad to be a Texan. We need more of Al Green and less of Schumer-Jeffries.
