President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday night proved to be an optics nightmare for Democrats as one of their own was booted from the House chamber by the sergeant at arms and social media lit up over liberal lawmakers' refusal to stand for a boy with cancer being made a member of the Secret Service.
House Speaker Mike Johnson had Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, removed from the House chamber during Trump's joint address for disrupting the speech.
Johnson banged the speaker's gavel as Democrats disrupted Trump's speech, before instructing them to follow decorum and ordering Green's removal.
"Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions," Johnson said. "That's your warning. Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of decorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session. Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber."

Big embarrassment for the Democrats and their ping pong team.
