Central Valley Congressman Jim Costa was the only California Democrat to censure Rep. Al Green after he interrupted President's address to Congress.
Green’s outburst was part of a larger pattern of Democratic protests, with some lawmakers engaging in both silent and vocal demonstrations against Trump’s speech. Democrats also faced criticism for refusing to stand and applaud when Trump honored a 13-year-old boy who survived brain cancer by naming him an honorary Secret Service agent.
Two days after Texas Rep. Al Green disrupted President Donald Trump's speech during a joint Congressional session, members of the House — including Democratic lawmakers from California — voted to censure Green.
President Donald Trump commented on Thursday about Rep. Al Green (D-TX), the Democrat politician who interrupted his joint sessions address to Congress on Tuesday night. The president’s heavily critical comments came on the same day the House of Representatives voted to censure Green for his antics.
