Rep. Al Green was ejected from the State of the Union address almost immediately last night after lingering in the center aisle brandishing a sign that read “Black people aren’t apes!” - a reference to President Donald Trump sharing a racist video depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama.
This marks the second year in a row he has been removed from the annual event. After being ordered out by House speaker Mike Johnson during last year’s speech for yelling responses as the president spoke.
