U.S. BREAKING: Rep. Al Green Defies Trump, Escorted Out After Explosive Racism Accusation In Speech

Representative Al Green (D-TX) was escorted out of President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address after holding up a protest sign that read “Black people aren’t apes,” a direct rebuke to a controversial video Trump had shared on social media that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The protest quickly drew reactions from lawmakers and underscored deep racial and partisan tensions inside the chamber.
