Summary
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) stands by his decision to interrupt Trump’s joint address to Congress, stating “I would have to do it again” despite facing censure.
Green protested proposed Medicaid cuts, warning “people will suffer and die” if the program is cut.
Fellow Democrats joined him in singing “We Shall Overcome” during the censure reading. Green called his actions a “peaceful protest” against presidential “incivility.”
Critics note apparent double standards, as Republicans like MTG previously interrupted Biden without similar consequences. Rep. Boebert’s comment about Green “shaking his pimp cane” has been criticized for racial overtones.
If mainstream media gave a shit this is what they would have been saying the whole time.
American taxpayers will suffer and die because of this.
Don’t even try to explain the numbers to conservatives, just make it clear that if it resulted in them getting more money somehow, it would be literal blood money.
But once you start that argument, it applies to all of America’s healthcare system, and mainstream media wants to (at best) maintain the status quo.
So instead they treat it as a math problem and ignore the human suffering
