Watch: Chaos on House floor as Democrats protest Al Green censure

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) tried to regain control of the House floor Thursday as some Democrats protested the censure of Rep. Al Green (D-TX) by singing, "We Shall Overcome."

The House adopted the measure with a 224-198-2 vote. Ten Democrats voted with Republican lawmakers to censure Green for his outburst during President Donald Trump's address to Congress Tuesday night. Green was removed from the chamber at the time so Trump could continue his address.

After being ejected, Green told reporters, "I'll accept the punishment, but it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security."

Green told Raw Story exclusively, "[Trump] believes he has absolute immunity in all areas. And I think that he believes that the Office of the Presidency is something that allows him to do what he chooses with agencies that report to the Executive branch."

Shortly after the vote Thursday, Johnson called for order before reading the censure adoption.

"The House will come to order! The House will come to order!" Johnson repeated, then tried shushing lawmakers who gathered on the floor.

"By its adoption of Rule 189, the House has resolved that Rep. Al Green be censured. That Rep. Al Green forthwith present himself up in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure," Johnson said.

Singing could be heard coming form the floor as someone screamed out, "Order!"

Johnson continued, "And that Rep. Al Green be censured with public reading of this resolution by the speaker."

As the singing grew louder, Johnson continued to bang the gavel, repeating, "The House will come to order" and "clear the well, please, the House has to continue its business."

Johnson finally declared the House in recess when it became clear that the Democrats would not stop their musical protest.

Green is now the 28th member of the House to be censured. The censure resolution called Green's protest, “a breach of proper conduct.”
