Well, that didn’t take long. After making a complete fool of himself by interrupting President Trump’s joint address to Congress, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has been officially censured by the House. And in a rare moment of sanity, even 10 Democrats joined Republicans in holding Green accountable for his embarrassing behavior.
The final vote? 224-198, with all Republicans voting in favor, along with a handful of Democrats who apparently still have some shred of self-respect left. Green, for his part, didn’t even bother defending himself—he just voted “present,” as if he were some neutral observer instead of the guy causing the chaos in the first place.
Here’s the list of Democrats who chose to do the right thing:
- Ami Bera, D-Calif
- Ed Case, D-Hawaii
- Jim Costa, D-Calif
- Laura Gillen, D-N.Y.
- Jim Himes, D-Conn
- Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.
- Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio
- Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash
- Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.
Let’s talk about what actually happened. During President Trump’s speech, Green had what can only be described as a full-blown meltdown. He began shouting and waving his cane in a wild protest that had security escorting him out of the chamber. Because nothing says “serious leader” like throwing a tantrum on the House floor while the entire country is watching.

This wasn’t just an isolated incident—it was a perfect snapshot of the chaos and dysfunction that has consumed the Democratic Party since Trump steamrolled Biden in November. They still can’t accept reality, and instead of focusing on the issues that actually matter, they’re too busy throwing fits on national television.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) summed it up perfectly:
“Al Green’s childish outburst exposed the chaos and dysfunction within the Democrat party since President Trump’s overwhelming win in November and his success in office thus far. It is not surprising 198 Democrats refused to support Green’s censure given their history of radical, inflammatory rhetoric fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Exactly.
Of course, Republicans wasted no time drafting multiple resolutions to censure Green, because when someone acts like an out-of-control activist instead of an elected official, they deserve to be called out. And even though most Democrats predictably stood by their man, 10 actually had the guts to vote with Republicans—a sign that maybe, just maybe, there’s a small fraction of their party that’s getting tired of the circus.
At the end of the day, Green got exactly what he deserved. But let’s be honest—this won’t be the last time a Democrat loses their mind over Trump’s success. The left is in full meltdown mode, and they’re only getting started.
