As Trump described his electoral victory in November, to the cheers of House Republicans, Green stood up and shook his cane at the president, yelling, “no mandate.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, asked Green to sit down, and when he did not, ordered the House Sergeant at Arms to remove him.

As he was led out of the House chamber, Green, an 11-term congressman who represents southwest Houston, continued to shout at the president.

Democrats around him stayed seated, holdings signs that read “false” and “stop Musk” — in reference to Texas billionaire Elon Musk’s mass firings of federal employees.
