There was serious drama during President Trump‘s State of the Union address this week. Congressman Al Green was ejected for holding a protest sign, and many Democrats refused to stand, creating a stark visual contrast that caught widespread attention.
As President Trump began his address, Green remained standing in the center aisle while most attendees sat down. According to The Guardian, he held up a sign that read, “Black people aren’t apes!”, a direct reference to a racist video depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama that President Trump had previously shared.
