Rep Al Green Censured

Following an embarrassing outburst, Rep Al Green (D-TX-9) was removed from the audience of the Presidents joint speech to Congress.

Well, Al had some more bad news today. He was officially censured by the House of Representatives.

The votes broke down this way:

• 224 in favor (Yea)
• 198 against (Nay)
• 2 voting “present”

As would be expected, the vote broke mostly along party lines. There were 10 Dems who broke ranks and voted Yea. They were:

• Ami Bera (California)
• Ed Case (Hawaii)
• Jim Costa (California)
• Laura Gillen (New York)
• Jim Himes (Connecticut)
• Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania)
• Marcy Kaptur (Ohio)
• Jared Moskowitz (Florida)
• Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington)
• Tom Suozzi (New York)

Green himself and Shomari Figures from Alabama voted present.
