'Black people aren't apes!' US lawmaker Al Green escorted out for protest during Donald Trump's speech
Al Green, a Democratic congressman from Texas, was ejected from the House chamber during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address after holding up a sign reading “Black people aren’t apes!”. The sign referenced a racist video posted on Trump’s social media account earlier this month that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys. Green was escorted out by staff members following attempts to remove the sign from him by both Republicans and members of the crowd.
