(AP) – A Democratic U.S. representative was removed from the House chamber after disrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
“The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades,” Trump said as he began his speech Tuesday night.
“You have no mandate,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Al Green, of Texas, countered.
Republicans quickly jumped to their feet with chants of “USA! USA!”
Green was then removed from the House chamber.
Republican members cheered at his removal, shouting “Get out!” and “Goodbye!” at the lawmaker.
Green shouted, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!” at Trump before police escorted him from the chamber.
