As President Donald Trump addressed Congress and the American people, outlining his plans for the coming months, Democratic Congressman Al Green was escorted out of the House chamber. This incident occurred as President Trump began his State of the Union address, causing a stir on the floor.
President Trump declared at the opening of his speech: "The presidential election of November 5th was an unprecedented mandate." However, Democratic Representative Al Green immediately retorted: "You don't have a mandate." This public challenge directly questioned the legitimacy of President Trump.
Green's rebuttal led to his removal from the House chamber. Republican lawmakers cheered in response, shouting "Get out!" and "Goodbye!" Before police escorted Green out of the House chamber, he shouted: "You have no authority to cut Medicaid!"
Concurrently, some Democratic lawmakers raised signs as the President began to speak, expressing their protest. This series of events reflects the deep divisions and tensions within American politics.
