Trump’s State of the Union Shows He’s Just Getting Started
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s fourth State of the Union address was disrupted within minutes Tuesday night when Democratic Rep. Al Green was escorted out of the U.S. Capitol chamber for silently displaying a sign reading “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES,” a protest referencing a controversial video Trump previously shared on social media.
The physical confrontation unfolded as Trump began his speech, with cameras capturing Republican lawmakers and staff attempting to remove the sign and secure the chamber before Green was led out.
