Was he even being disruptive, other than holding a sign? MTG was screeching during one of Biden's and wasn't escorted out.
Also, a republican trying to tear the sign out of his hands and then all of them chanting "USA" as Green is led out is fucking wild. I thought they were pretending to not be racists? Is that gone now?
Trump makes racists feel safe to be openly racist. He has since his first term after he wouldn't denounce his endorsement from the former grand wizard of the kkk. Since the "good people on both sides".
Unrelated, but just a reminder its ok to punch nazis 👍
FTFY
They wouldn’t chant that shit in public. Only in their protected little enclave. Never forget these people are fucking cowards on top of being Nazis.
Gonna disagree with that, brother. They're more bold to say it in public. Then when they get called out, their gofund me gets money

actually I think I just watched an old West Wing episode about this recently. I beleive there is a rule about when and where you can carry plaquards, signs and posters, so he likely had to be removed by the rules but was doing it deliberately.
Not a criticism of the method, just explanatory.
Honestly I think it's brilliant.
Imagine having to go to some event where the speaker smells like diaper shit and dementia-rants for three hours.
Bring a sign, get lots of photos, then forced to leave... All before a single geriatric shit smell hits your nose.
Yea it's a great way for a congress member to protest. It's visible, you can control the narrative, and it's way more active the boycotting or going to the alternative state of the union put on by notable Pro-Clinton PAC MoveOn.org
Notable that this would have occurred under rules governing behavior in the House and that it would have been the House leadership who did the actual ejecting.
Just FYI this was 100% planned on both his part as well house leadership. He was kicked out last year under similar circumstances. He wasn't kicked out for what the sign said.
no they just don't want their base see it and hear from literate people what it says
