Republicans Move To Strip Al Green’s Committee Assignments After Anti-Trump Outburst

House Republicans are escalating their response to Democratic Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) latest outburst, moving to strip him of his committee assignments following his dramatic disruption of President Donald Trump’s congressional address.

The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), announced the move Thursday. Harris said that Green’s behavior warrants further disciplinary action beyond the bipartisan censure vote that passed earlier.

“The House Freedom Caucus is filing a resolution to strip disruptive and disrespectful Democrat Rep. Al Green from his committee assignments, and we expect Speaker Johnson to bring it to the House floor for a vote next week,” Harris stated.

The latest controversy erupted when Green (D-TX) shouted and shook his cane at President Trump during the joint congressional session, prompting House security to remove him from the chamber. The behavior, widely condemned by Republicans and even some Democrats, led to a censure vote Thursday morning.

The measure passed 224-198, with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) struggling to maintain order as Democrats gathered on the House floor in protest, singing and shouting in defiance of the resolution. C-SPAN footage captured Speaker Johnson repeatedly gaveling for order, but after Democrats refused to disperse, he was forced to call a recess.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
