Congressman Al Green and fellow Democrats began singing the civil rights song “We Shall Overcome,” after the House voted to censure the Texas lawmaker.
Green was given the rebuke for heckling and waving his cane at Donald Trump during the president’s joint session of Congress. Ten Democrats joined Republicans to vote for the censure.

At least some Dems stood by him and sang along in I guess protest of his censure. It’s not enough but it’s far more than pretty much any Dem has been willing to do.
Ya know, I’ve heard people complaining that he did too much and was too loud, they didn’t do enough and none of it matters anyway. Instead we should be focused on the trump administration forcing a black man out of the room. This is the 21st century civil rights fight.

Why though? What good does that do? Focus on how awesome he is and how terrible the republicans were to him.

Again, what happened right in the whole situation? Al is a rock star and he got up and sang after the censure with a bunch of people. He’s awesome.
I’m beginning to question your intentions.
Al is a rock star
Just making sure that you realize that he isn’t that Al Green.

You’re on the cusp of not being civil and getting a break.

I’m surprised that I’m not surprised.
What does censuring mean slash involve?
