Al Green removed from Trump’s SOTU 2026 after holding sign reading 'Black people aren’t apes!' | VIDEO

During the 2026 State of the Union address, Democratic Congressman Al Green was removed from the House chamber after he displayed a sign that read, "Black people aren’t apes!" This silent protest was aimed at drawing attention to racial insensitivity and derogatory comments that have historically been directed towards the Black community. As Green held up the sign, he was met with chants of "USA!" from attendees, highlighting the polarized atmosphere in the chamber. The incident reflects ongoing tensions surrounding race relations in the United States and the impact of political discourse on societal issues. Al Green, known for his advocacy against racism and inequality, has been a vocal critic of former President Trump's policies and rhetoric, which he believes have often exacerbated racial divides. This event underscores the contentious nature of modern political gatherings and the challenges faced by politicians who seek to address sensitive topics in a charged environment.
