Al Green Removed from Chamber During Donald Trump's Statue of the Union While Holding Sign Saying 'Black People Aren't Apes'

For the second year in a row, Rep. Al Green has been escorted out of the House chamber while President Donald Trump addresses Congress.

Trump is giving his State of the Union address at Capitol Hill on Tuesday (February 24). The congressman could be seen unfurling and then holding up a sign reading “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

The statement appears to be referencing the racist video Trump shared to Truth Social earlier this month that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

According to AP News, the House Sergeant at Arms escorted Green from the chamber only a few minutes into the address. The outlet says a few Republicans had begun to chant “USA” before his exit.

In March of last year, Green was removed for heckling the president during a speech to Congress.
