U.S. Rep. Al Green was booted from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night after waving a sign reading, “Black People Aren’t Apes!” as the president made his entrance down the aisle.
The Houston Democrat stood near the front of the chamber holding the sign above his head as Trump greeted lawmakers and shook hands. Gasps and boos quickly spread across the room as members on both sides reacted to the sudden disruption.
Fellow Texan Troy Nehls appeared to exchange heated words with Green before throwing his hands up and returning to his seat. Within moments, the sergeant-at-arms moved in.

I had to laugh at watching little Mikey Johnson pretending to be wringing his hands over Democrats boycotting the SOTU (oh, the CIVILITY!), and he just cannot fucking help himself because he knows who he is doing this little performance for, and it’s not normal Americans:
He says:
We’ve never done that. It doesn’t matter if there’s a Democrat (sic) president, you go and respect the office, you respect the decorum, the institution, the tradition of having had this speech made.
These little weasels simply refuse to get the name of the party right. They do it all the time, and the Murc’s Law media never calls them on it. They quote little Mikey and don’t even put the sic in there as they should.
So the guy is pretending to be claiming that the SOTU is all about coming together, let’s have some civility here, etc., and even in the process of doing that, he does the little Republicunt insult that all of them do, constantly.
Civility. He can kiss my red rosy.
Gasps and boos quickly spread across the room as members on both sides reacted to the sudden disruption.
… holding a sign is a “sudden disruption?” Ffs…
Remind me, were MTG or Bobert booted from the SOTU when they literally yelled at Biden?
Dems are held to decorum, the right isn’t.
Or the asshat who yelled “you lie” at Obama.
That dipshit, Joe Wilson, is still in the House of Representatives. He was pissed because Obama said illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from the ACA.
His yelling at Obama was making political hay; scaremongering that “undeserving” people might get healthcare in the richest country in the history of the world.
Gasps that our president is a racist, right?
Every single Democrat should have done something to get kicked out
He’s wrong though. We’re all apes, regardless of race.
Ackschually, that’s a common misconception. Humans and apes merely share a common ancestor
Edit: sure is reddit in here
Humans are apes, specifically members of the great ape family, Hominidae: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae
Like, going actually we’re all apes! In response to this is missing the point. But we’re not not apes.
Can’t evolve out of a clade and all that jazz
