Rep. Al Green booted from State of the Union 2026 after heckling Trump during address for second year in a row
The New York Post ^ | 02/24/2026 | Ryan King

Disruptive Rep. Al Green was ejected from the House chamber for the second year in a row during President Trump’s State of the Union on Tuesday.

Green (D-Texas), 78, had waved around a sign that said “Black people aren’t apes” as he was escorted out of the chamber. He also declined to sit as Trump began speaking.

The sign was in response to Trump posting a since-deleted video on his Truth Social that raised doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 election and ended with a clip depicting former President Barack Obama as an ape.

It appears that the post came from a screen recording of the election video and that a meme video showing Trump as the king of the jungle with top pols portrayed as characters in the “Lion King” began playing automatically afterwards.

The White House claimed that a staffer erroneously posted the video and Trump denied seeing the ape clip beforehand, telling reporters that “of course” he condemns it.

That incident had sparked backlash from multiple Republican lawmakers in Congress.

Republican lawmakers cheered as Green was kicked out of Trump’s State of the Union Tuesday evening

Green was also booted last year during Trump’s joint address to Congress, wielding a cane and shouting, “You don’t have a mandate.”

The Texas Democrat pointed his finger at Trump and was quieted down on a few occasions before interjecting again. Over a dozen Democrats boycotted Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday as party leadership urged reps to behave themselves.

Is that superannuated homunculus up to his old tricks? His instrument only plays one note, and that note is “orange man bad”.

I don’t believe black people are apes.

But for obvious reasons that is not the fellow I would have chosen to make that argument.

The left believes we “evolved” from apes, yet gets p’d off when anyone suggests that there are some homo-sapiens who look like apes. Which is it?

Also, no one cared when Bush was called “chimpie”.

So stop it lol

His sign should read “I have mental illness.”

He stood when he should have been sitting and sat when he should have been standing.
