WHCA In-town note #11 — Al Green quotes

Rep. Al Green made a surprise stop at the White House traveling press hold after he was kicked out of the House chamber for protesting Trump's speech.

Green took a few questions.

The Texas Democrat said that before he was escorted out of the chamber he repeatedly yelled at Trump that the president had "no mandate" to cut Medicaid.

"It's worth it to let people know that there are some people who are going to stand up" to Trump, Green said.

He said he didn't know whether he faced any formal punishment for his protest in the chamber.
