Dueling Al Green censure efforts stir frustrations within GOP as Republicans demand consequences
Green protested Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday
By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News
Published March 5, 2025 1:05pm EST

Competing resolutions to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, are causing some division within the House GOP on Wednesday.

The Texas Democrat was thrown out of President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night after repeatedly attempting to interrupt the speech, minutes after it began.

A resolution to punish Green over the incident is likely to pass, even with Republicans' razor-thin majority in the House. But differing ideas over how to get there have led to some frustrations between separate House GOP factions.

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-WA, a moderate Republican, announced Wednesday he intends to force a vote on his own bill via a privileged resolution, meaning House leaders are forced to take it up within two days of the House being in session.

 It accused Green of having "repeatedly violated the rules of decorum in the House of Representatives during President Donald J. Trump’s joint address to Congress," according to text provided to Fox News Digital.

Notably, Newhouse is one of two House Republicans left in Congress who voted to impeach Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot – a fact that backers of a competing censure resolution seized on.

Fox News Digital was told he had begun work on his resolution against Green on Tuesday night.

Today, the House will vote to censure Rep. Al Greene for his raging disruption during President Trump’s Joint Address.
FYI: Article I, Section 5 of the United States Constitution gives Congress the authority to govern itself and hold members accountable.

The Dems need to up their song playlist. Those old Negro spirituals they be singing are so MySpace.  They need to add some old rap. Drake, Tupac, Notorious RBG er i Mean B.I.G etal.

IF he indeed tampered with an election -- fingerprint him, book him and start prosecuting.

Witness tampering is a very serious crime @libertybele punishable by years in prison.
