10 Democrats voted to censure Green

This is not the first time House members on both sides of the aisle have protested or made remarks during a president’s address to Congress. Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., pointed out that several Republican lawmakers were silent after members of their party disrupted then-President Joe Biden multiple times during his congressional speech, per AP.

CNN reported that in addition to the Democrats’ failure to block Green’s censure, 10 party members stood with Republicans on Thursday as they voted to pass the resolution.

The following Democratic members are: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.

Early Thursday morning, Johnson condemned Green’s actions and urged Democrats to stand with House Republicans “in this effort.”

“He deliberately violated House rules, and an expeditious vote of censure is an appropriate remedy. Any Democrat who is concerned about regaining the trust and respect of the American people should join House Republicans in this effort,” Johnson wrote in a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
