First on FOX: The resolution by R-TX Rep. Troy Nairs spread among Republican lawmakers on Wednesday, punishing House Democrats who were dumped from President Donald Trump’s protest speech.
NEHLS is leading the resolution of R-TX’s denunciation against Al Green, and is expected to make it public one day today, a source with knowledge of the document tells Fox News Digital.
The draft text viewed by Fox News Digital accused them of “deliberately confusing the joint session and remaining rebellious” and “provoking disgust to the US Congress.”
The 77-year-old Democrat was removed from Trump’s joint speech to Congress on Tuesday night after repeatedly confusing the beginning of the president’s speech.
“She’s really this stupidity”: House Dem was torn apart after calling Trump “American enemy.”

He cried out “You have no obligation” in Trump, who promoted Republican victory in the House, Senate and White House.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, removed the green by US Sergeant.
Greene remained rebellious when he stopped to talk to the White House pool on the ground floor of the Capitol after being dumped from the room on the second floor of the house Trump was talking to.
“I am happy to suffer any punishment that I have available. I have not told anyone, I will not punish me. I have said I will accept the punishment,” Green said, according to a White House Pool report.
“But it’s worth letting people know that there are some of us who are willing to stand up to this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”

Meanwhile, Republicans responded to Greene and other democratic attempts to disrupt their speeches with anger.
House Freedom Caucus announced Wednesday morning that it would submit its own condemnation resolution against Green.
“What they’ve shown is ridiculous to Americans,” House GOP Policy Committee chair R-OK told Fox News Digital on Tuesday night. “I don’t know how Americans think it’s right.”
R-GA MP Buddy Carter told Fox News Digital: “The Democrats’ actions last night were disappointing. The explosion of Rep. Al Green must have been a result of showing a clear lack of politeness and respect for the presidency.”

Steve Scalise, the leader of the House Majority in R-LA, told Fox News Digital that he was “seeing” whether leadership would punish Green.
Johnson signalled reporters Tuesday night that such a move would gain his support.
Fox News Digital contacted Green’s office for a response, but did not immediately respond.
