Dem Rep. Al Green wields cane, booted from Trump's address to Congress after raucous delay | 4 March 2025 | Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas repeatedly interrupted President Trump early on during his speech to the joint session of Congress, waving around his cane and shouting at the commander in chief. Initially, Trump tried to speak over him, but Green, 77, persisted, shouting, "You don't have a mandate" -- an apparent reference to the budget resolution that narrowly passed the House last week. Green, who represents a district in the Houston area, also pointed his finger at Trump. On a few occasions, he briefly quieted down to let Trump speak so that he could interject again. Republicans seated on the other side of the chamber quickly hit back with chants of "USA," seeking to drown him out.
