Texas Rep. Al Green has been censured by Congress for interrupting President Donald Trump’s address on Tuesday evening.

The House voted 224-198 in favour of the censure on Thursday, 10 Democrats included.

Green stood up in Congress in the early stages of Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, arguing that the president had no mandate to cut social safety net funding. After a warning from Speaker Mike Johnson, Green was removed from the House.

Speaking on Thursday, Green called the issue a "matter of conscience" and said he had no problem standing "alone" if need be to fight against cuts to Medicaid.

"The only thing that corssed my mind was: I have to let the President know he doesn’t have a mandate to cut Medicaid," Green said.
