House censure of Democrat Al Green a sad day for America, says Speaker Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Democrats were left “embarrassing” by Rep. Al Greene's actions after the House voted Thursday for confusing President Donald Trump's joint speech to Congress.

Johnson joined the “American Newsroom” after a vote to punish lawmakers for his “nasty” actions during Trump's speech to House Chamber.

“This is a really sad day for our facility,” Johnson told Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “Representative Al Greene confused our honorable guest in the Chamber of Commerce, in the midst of the President's speech. He did it intentionally. I gave him a lot of warnings and he refused to act intentionally. It must be met with prompt punishment.

“I am willing to suffer any punishment I have available. I have not told anyone, 'Don't punish me.' Green said, according to a White House Pool report. “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.”

The condemnation vote was passed on a bipartisan basis on Thursday, with 10 Democrats voting alongside Republicans to denounce Green.

But before reading the formal denunciation, Democrats defeated the proceedings by gathering with Greene and singing the song “We Will Overcome.” Johnson was forced to call the house for a break after multiple unsuccessful protests.

“They're embarrassed by what happened,” Johnson said. “You know, many of their colleagues were trying to hold signs on the floor and confuse them in other ways. But leadership Hakeem Jeffries, for his trust, is the leader of the Democratic side of the house.

“We have to do that as leaders, and all members should commit to it too,” he continued. “It brings shame to the institution, which has embarrassed them as individuals and to their parties.

“Last night was a very clear moment for our country,” Leavitt said. “The Democrats exposed themselves as a party of madness and hatred, a party that wants to put America at the end. They allowed their Trump Mad Syndrome to stop celebrating America and our people.

Johnson argued that the party was “confusing” and that they had no future leader, vision or direction.

“They're on fire right now, so that's why they rely on these antics,” he said. “They want to fight Trump. They want to fight America's first agenda. They want to fight all of us. And they want to deb themselves by showing up on the floor of their house and acting like children. That's sad.”

“This is an unfortunate day. I wish I hadn't had to go down this path.”
