Al Green's stay at Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday was brief.
The Texas Democrat was removed from the House of Representatives chamber for disrupting Trump early in his speech.
The exchange began after Trump said, "The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades.”
Green, seated on the aisle directly in front of the president, then stood and shouted at Trump.
"You have no mandate," Green said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson warned Green to stop and take his seat or be forcibly removed, drawing applause from republicans and Vice President JD Vance.
Green, who pushed for Trump's impeachment during his first term, continued to heckle the president.
"Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption to proper decorum, the chair now directs the Sergeant at Arms to restore order," Johnson said. "Remove this gentleman from the chamber."
Green was then escorted out of the chamber.
Republican members cheered at his removal, shouting “Get out!” and “Goodbye!” at the lawmaker. Green shouted, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!” at Trump before police escorted him from the chamber.
“Nah nah nah nah, goodbye,” Republicans chanted as Green was escorted from the room.
