Both Republicans and independence voters responded positively after the aftermath of Rep. Al Green's turmoil in President Donald Trump's joint speech to Congress, resulting in the removal of Texas Democrats from their House rooms.
The “America!” hymn green broke out in the room of his house as he tried to confuse Trump's speech. Fox News voters show that Republican and independent voters, represented by the red and yellow lines, respectively, responded positively to how the interruption was handled.
Meanwhile, Democrat voters, represented by the Blue Line, had almost neutral responses that tend to be negatively, like “US!” The chant continued.

After repeatedly confusing the beginning of Trump's remarks on Tuesday night, Green was removed from Trump's speech, yelling that Trump was not “delegated” as the president tried to promote GOP control in both the White House and Congress rooms.

Social media erupts after House Dem Greene pauses Trump's speech: “I feel embarrassed about myself”
“I am happy with any punishment I have available. I didn't tell anyone, I won't punish me. I said I'll accept the punishment,” Green told reporters later. “But it's worth letting people know that there are some of us who are willing to stand up to this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”
Meanwhile, Republicans were not impressed by the opposition's attitude through Tuesday's lawsuit.
“What they showed is ridiculous for Americans,” said R-Okla, chairman of the House GOP Policy Committee. “I don't know how Americans think it's right.”

That sentiment was shared by Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga.
“The Democrats' actions last night were disappointing,” Carter told Fox News Digital. “The explosion of Rep. Al Greene must result in clear politeness and respect for the office of the presidency.”
