Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was removed from the House chamber on Tuesday night after disrupting President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress.

Green rose to speak and shook his cane toward the president about four minutes into the speech, but his words were quickly drowned out by chants of “USA! USA!” from Republican lawmakers.
