House Republican seeks Al Green censure over State of the Union disruption

Published February 25, 2026 2:30pm ET



House Republicans are already taking steps to rebuke Rep. Al Green (D-TX) after he disrupted the State of the Union by waving a sign and refusing to sit down during President Donald Trump‘s address.

Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) is circulating a censure resolution condemning Green’s “performative acts” and noting that this is the second time in less than a year the Texas congressman had to be forcibly escorted from the House chamber due to what he called “unpatriotic disruptions.” Fox News Digital first reported the move.
