U.S. Rep. Al Green was booted from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night after waving a sign reading, “Black People Aren’t Apes!” as the president made his entrance down the aisle.

Fellow Texan Troy Nehls appeared to exchange heated words with Green before throwing his hands up and returning to his seat. Within moments, the sergeant-at-arms moved in.
