Al Green Holds Sign During State of the Union Address

Al Green held up a sign during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and was escorted from the chamber. The sign protested a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Left-leaning outlets present the sign as a protest against racist imagery and, in some accounts, Green’s removal as an effort to silence him. Center outlets mostly explain the sign’s reference and the removal, with some stressing Green’s rationale or lawmakers’ exchanges. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the ejection and earlier ejection, while some criticize or mock Green’s protest.
