Ten House Democrats joined Republicans in voting to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) on Thursday, rebuking the 11-term congressman for his disruptive protest during President Trump’s speech to Congress.
The chamber adopted the censure resolution in a 224-198-2 vote, less than 48 hours after Green stood up, waved his cane in the air and yelled at Trump during his speech, prompting his eventual removal from the chamber. The vote made him the 28th member of the House to be censured.
House Democratic leadership did not whip on the Green censure resolution, allowing lawmakers to decide on their own whether to support it.
In the end, 10 Democrats backed the measure: Reps. Ami Bera (Calif.), Ed Case (Hawaii), Jim Costa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).

He flipped the George Santos seat in NY and is vulnerable.
Only 10 democrats showed they had any common sense. The rest acted like spoiled adolescents. Pitiful.
That’s important to know. What’s more important is the republicans who turn against their own party in any given situation. Some can be forgiven-think Collins. Others(you know who) need to be shown the door. Problem is incumbency. No one NOTEWORTHY to keep them straight.
But they couldn’t bring themselves to vote against biological males beating up on girls in sports. Curious.
So easy even a caveman can do it.
He saved hundreds on car insurance by switching to Geico.
I see that his fellow Texan, Rep. Henry Cuellar, who presents himself as some kind of “moderate,” voted with Green! Should have been an easy vote for Cuellar as he awaits trial later in the year for money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy.
That man is as ugly as his behavior.
Al Ugly Green!
He has a strong Pimp hand, he knows what a coat hanger is really for.
Roast duck with mango salsa, walking upright, discovering fire, inventing the wheel, creating the foundation of civilization–yeah, sorry we couldn’t get that to you sooner.

Gillen also stood and applauded for the young man President Trump honored.
