President Donald Trump encountered a disruption from a protester upon his arrival to deliver the State of the Union address.
Rep. Al Green displayed a sign that, according to CNN’s Manu Raju, read “Black people are not apes” before Steve Scalise removed it. Green was promptly escorted from the House Chamber of the US Capitol.

The incident echoes last year’s events, when Green was similarly removed from the State of the Union address for a comparable disruption.

- Division in European capitals over invitation to join Trump’s Board of Peace
Last year, Congress voted to censure Green following his removal from the event after interrupting Trump’s speech. The resolution characterized Green’s conduct as “a breach of proper conduct.”
