Leftist in danger of getting kicked out of Congress for this despicable act

This Democrat is in major trouble. Their career may never recover from this.

And this Leftist is in danger of getting kicked out of Congress for this despicable act.

In a fiery turn of events, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) finds himself at the center of a political storm after heckling President Donald Trump during a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. The House, led by Republicans, didn’t let the outburst slide, censuring Green in a bipartisan vote. Now, one GOP lawmaker is hinting at taking things further—potentially pushing for his expulsion from Congress.

On Thursday, Myles Morell, a reporter from the Daily Caller News Foundation, shared a video on X capturing Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) weighing in on the matter. When asked if Republicans should “take a step further and potentially bring a vote to expel” Green, Burchett didn’t hesitate. “Yea,” he said.

“I think it could be a reasonable consideration because I think … we’re going to have to do something to combat this craziness that’s going on. At some point we have to restore decorum and Al just might be that sacrificial lamb.” The comment reflects growing frustration among Republicans over what they see as a pattern of disruptive behavior.

Expelling a member of the House isn’t a light decision—it requires a two-thirds majority and has only happened a few times in U.S. history. Past cases involved serious offenses: two members were ousted after criminal convictions, and three were removed in 1861 for supporting the Confederacy. The most recent expulsion came in late 2023, when Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was booted amid federal charges, later pleading guilty to identity theft and wire fraud. Green’s situation, while contentious, sits in a different lane, raising questions about whether his actions warrant such a drastic step.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) isn’t buying the GOP’s tough talk. In a video from Andi Shae Napier of the Daily Caller News Foundation, Jeffries brushed off the idea that Republicans could expel Democrats opposed to Trump’s “MAGA” agenda. He pointed out the steep two-thirds threshold, confidently declaring that outcome “will never happen.” His dismissal highlights the steep hill Republicans would need to climb to turn their frustration into action.

The censure itself unfolded earlier Thursday, with 224 lawmakers—214 Republicans and 10 Democrats—voting to reprimand Green, while two Democrats voted “present.” The final tally of 224-198-2 showed rare cross-party agreement. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), one of the Democrats who backed the measure, explained her stance on X: “Today, I voted to censure a fellow member of Congress. When you knowingly break House rules, as Rep. Green did, it shouldn’t be surprising to face consequences. Congress should respect the co-equal office of the Presidency, regardless of who holds the job, do our constitutional duty, and stop with the theatrics at these events.”

But the drama didn’t end with the vote. When Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called Green to the House floor for the formal censure pronouncement, a group of Democrats rallied around him, breaking into a rendition of “We Shall Overcome.” Johnson, visibly irritated, banged his gavel and demanded order before recessing the session. Burchett, ever the quipster, later posted on X: “When I’m censured I’m singing Freebird,” a nod to the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic.

Republicans aren’t stopping at censure. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) introduced a resolution to strip committee assignments from those who disrupted the proceedings, while the House Freedom Caucus, led by Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), signaled plans to target Green’s committee roles specifically. Green, no stranger to clashing with Trump—he’s filed multiple impeachment articles against him over the years—took the floor post-censure for over 30 minutes. Defiant as ever, he declared, “And still I rise a proud, liberated Democrat, unbought, unbossed, and unafraid.”

Democrats’ Childish Antics Post-Trump Victory

Since Trump’s second term began taking shape, Democrats have struggled to keep their composure, often veering into what critics call juvenile territory.

The scene during Green’s censure—singing protest songs in the House chamber—epitomizes a trend of theatrical stunts over substantive opposition. Rather than regrouping after the election loss, some Democrats seem stuck in a loop of performative outrage, more focused on optics than policy.

Take the post-election meltdowns on social media and cable news. Prominent party figures have leaned into hyperbole, painting Trump’s win as an existential crisis while sidestepping any self-reflection on their own campaign missteps.

The tantrums aren’t just limited to rhetoric—disruptions like the one during Green’s censure suggest a refusal to accept the new political reality. It’s as if they believe shouting louder or staging sing-alongs will rewind the clock to November 4 – the day before the presidential election.

This immaturity risks alienating voters who crave serious governance over circus acts. While Republicans plot their next moves—however aggressive—Democrats’ antics, from heckling to hymn-singing, come off as petulant rather than principled.

If they want to reclaim credibility, they’ll need to trade the drama for discipline, but so far, the party seems content to play the role of sore loser on a very public stage.
