President Trump’s address to Congress quickly descended into partisan chaos, initiated by Democratic hecklers and ending with Trump escalating tensions. Representative Al Green's ejection for his outburst signified the heightened emotions and disorder that characterized the event. Trump, in a campaign-like fashion, directly criticized President Biden multiple times while indulging in personal attacks against prominent Democrats, showcasing his enduring approach to political clashes. This tension-filled evening allowed Democrats to rally, making a statement against the Trump administration's handling of various issues and aspirations.
Defying warnings from Democratic leadership, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) kicked off a night of theatrics by heckling Trump minutes into his speech - a breach of decorum that ended with Green's historic ejection from the chamber.
Trump's record-long, 100-minute remarks were largely indistinguishable from his campaign stump speeches, but the chance to do televised battle with his Democratic foes was new - and he clearly had missed it.
