Reactions poured in as Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was removed from the House chamber for protesting in the middle of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night.
However, Green and other Democrats protesting were drowned out with chants of “USA” at the start of the president’s remarks.
On social media, several conservatives slammed Green and the Democrats, saying their behavior was “out of control.”
“The Democrats are out of control. They are embarrassing themselves. Heckling the President, especially in a forum like this, is not how they will win,” former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer posted on X.

“Al Green is a disgrace,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., tweeted. “[Trump] won the election. #47.”
“Speaker Mike Johnson just ordered the Sergeant at Arms to forcibly remove Rep. Al Green for breaking rules of decorum in the House Chamber. Good for the Speaker. Al Green is a clown,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted on X.
“Rep. Al Green has been a gadfly his entire time in Congress. He purposefully disrupted in order to get removed… shameful conduct, but absolutely not surprising,” American Encore President Sean Noble stated on X.
“I am disgusted. This is disgusting behavior on the part of democrats,” Megan McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, said on X. “Get a grip. You’re in congress.”
