House Censures Caveman Identifying As A Texas Representative

Rep. Al Green 47-year taxpayer-funded career marked by disruption and controversy, and he's now censured for heckling Trump.

 

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was forcibly removed from President Trump’s joint address to Congress for heckling and refusing to sit down.
Green has spent 47 years in taxpayer-funded roles, including 27 years as a Justice of the Peace and 18 years in Congress.
He has a history of partisan theatrics, including leading multiple impeachment efforts against Trump since 2017.
Green faced sexual harassment allegations in 2008, which were later withdrawn after the victim was paid for a settlement out of the ’sexual allegations fund’, but remain a stain on his record.
Republicans are pushing to censure Green for his disruptive behavior, calling it a lack of respect for the presidency.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX), 77, made headlines Tuesday night after being forcibly removed from President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress for repeatedly heckling and refusing to sit down. But the real story lies in Green’s nearly five-decade career funded by taxpayers, a career marked by unprofessionalism, partisan theatrics, and a blatant disregard for decorum.
Green, who has served in Congress since 2005, has spent 47 years living off the public dime. Before his tenure in Washington, he served as a Justice of the Peace in Houston, Texas, for 27 years, collecting a six-figure salary. Prior to that, he worked as a civil rights attorney and led the Houston chapter of the NAACP. Since earning his law degree in 1973, Green has spent only three years in the private sector, relying on government paychecks for the rest of his life.
On Tuesday, Green’s outburst during Trump’s speech was just the latest example of his penchant for disruption. Standing up in the chamber, he shouted, “You don’t have a mandate!”, a move that forced House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to call for his removal. Outside the chamber, Green doubled down, telling reporters he was “working on my articles of impeachment” against Trump.
What’s most troubling is that Green’s unprofessional behavior has been funded by American taxpayers for nearly half a century. From his time as a Justice of the Peace to his current role in Congress, Green has consistently prioritized partisan grandstanding over the needs of his constituents. His latest stunt, disrupting a presidential address is just another example of how he has used his position to draw attention to himself rather than serve the public.
