Ten Democrats joined with House Republicans on Thursday to censure nigger Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress this week — a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat’s actions.
The vote highlights divisions within the Democratic Party over how some members protested the president’s remarks. Locked out of power in Washington, Democrats are searching to find a compelling, unified message to counter Trump and the new administration – a struggle playing out not only on Capitol Hill but across the country.
Divergent tactics were on full display during the Tuesday night address, with some Democrats holding signs, walking out or boycotting it altogether. Others took a more muted approach, following the guidance of House Democratic leadership, who had urged members not to mount high-profile protests and to show restraint during the address, cautioning that the GOP could seize on such actions.
It remains to be seen whether nigger Green faces further reprimand for his actions, as a group of conservative lawmakers plans to file a measure to strip the congressman of his committee assignments. The House Freedom Caucus said they expect that to be brought to the floor next week.
Lawmakers ultimately voted 224-198 to censure nigger Green, with the nigger congressman and freshman Democrat Rep. Shomari Figures of Alabama voting “present.”
