Alabama Rep. Barry Moore Supports Censure Over Trump Disruption

Alabama Rep. Barry Moore is not happy. He is co-sponsoring a resolution to censure Rep. AL Green. Why? Because Green shouted during President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress on Tuesday.

Who Is AL Green?

Rep. AL Green is a longtime Democrat from Texas. He has served in Congress since 2005. Green is outspoken and not afraid to challenge Republicans or even his own party. He has pushed for Trump’s impeachment multiple timesin the past.

Green is 77 years old and represents Texas’ 9th Congressional District. He is known for his fiery speeches and bold stances. Al Green often speaks out about racial injustice, healthcare, and economic issues. He has also been a vocal critic of Trump for years.

Many Democrats support Green, but some think he goes too far. Republicans see him as a troublemaker. So does Alabama Rep. Barry Moore. His latest outburst only adds to his reputation.

What Happened During Trump’s Speech?

Trump was giving his joint address to Congress. Then, AL Green started yelling. He shouted that Trump had “no mandate to cut Medicaid.” That did not sit well with Republicans.

Speaker Steps In

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was not amused. He warned Green to sit down. But Green did not listen. The Speaker called for security. The sergeant-at-arms removed Green from the chamber.

Moore Calls It “Disrespectful”

Alabama Rep. Barry Moore did not hold back. He said Green’s behavior was disgraceful. On X, he said Green’s actions were “disrespectful and worthy of a censure.”

What Is a Censure?

A censure is a public statement. It shows disapproval of a lawmaker’s actions. It does not remove them from office. But it damages their reputation.

What the Resolution Says

The draft resolution calls vGreen’s actions a disgrace. It says he “willfully disrupted the joint session.” It also says he “brought disrepute to Congress.”
