The House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Biden's State of the Union address. The incident highlighted significant divisions within the Democratic Party, with Speaker Moses attempting to restore order while Democrats chanted 'We Shall Overcome.' Notably, several Democrats joined Republicans in the censure vote, suggesting a lack of unified support for Green's actions. This reflects a larger trend of Democratic leaders distancing themselves from dissenting voices and potentially undermining members who challenge the party's narrative.
"The buggering out began in the Senate. CNN reported that Senate Democrats were disappointed by Green's protest, signaling to the House Democratic caucus that it was OK to hit the silk on one of its own."
"Democrats do not plan to whip members against the censure resolution, allowing lawmakers to vote how they want. Remind me to cancel Jeffries' reservation in my foxhole. Yeesh."
