The House voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, on Thursday after he repeatedly disrupted President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress.

The resolution was adopted in a 224-198 vote. Ten Democrats voted to censure Green.

He ended up being removed by the House sergeant at arms Tuesday at the direction of House Speaker Mike Johnson after refusing to take his seat and yelling toward the lectern when Trump said the Nov. 5 election had delivered a governing mandate not seen for many decades.

"You have no mandate,” the Houston lawmaker said while shaking a cane.
