A dramatic clash unfolded at President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address when Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted from the chamber after holding up a sign reading "Black people aren't apes!" – a direct response to controversial social media content linked to Trump's account. 🎤
The veteran congressman, one of few Black representatives in attendance, stood defiantly as Trump began speaking Tuesday night. Security intervened after apparent attempts to seize the sign from the 78-year-old lawmaker, who has previously led impeachment efforts against the former president.
This latest incident highlights growing tensions around racial discourse in U.S. politics. ✊ While some lawmakers praised Green's protest as "moral leadership," others criticized it as disrespectful during a national address.
The confrontation comes amid renewed debates about political decorum and free speech, with viral clips of the moment already racking up millions of views across platforms. 📱💥 (With input from AFP)
