Was he even being disruptive, other than holding a sign? MTG was screeching during one of Biden's and wasn't escorted out.

Also, a republican trying to tear the sign out of his hands and then all of them chanting "USA" as Green is led out is fucking wild. I thought they were pretending to not be racists? Is that gone now?

Trump makes racists feel safe to be openly racist. He has since his first term after he wouldn't denounce his endorsement from the former grand wizard of the kkk. Since the "good people on both sides".

Unrelated, but just a reminder its ok to punch nazis 👍

Unrelated, but just a reminder its ok morally required to punch nazis 👍

FTFY

They wouldn’t chant that shit in public. Only in their protected little enclave. Never forget these people are fucking cowards on top of being Nazis.

Well, ackshually....

actually I think I just watched an old West Wing episode about this recently. I beleive there is a rule about when and where you can carry plaquards, signs and posters, so he likely had to be removed by the rules but was doing it deliberately.

Not a criticism of the method, just explanatory.

How about you clarify what you mean, because right now, ambiguity implies that you think black people are apes. And if you're trying to make the joke that "all humans are primates", it's probably not the best time, or at least you'd better do it carefully to make sure it's funny and not cringe.

edit: Brief perusal of your comment history implies that it's not very likely you were going for a super-racist joke; probably the "all humans" thing. Maybe rework it a bit? :)

I had thought about making the statement too, "well, we are all actually apes" but then I thought better against it

Soo they think black people are actually apes. Man do I hate the state of the country

Yeah, it's exactly the type of joke I would normally make, but same… I happened to think it through and thought better of it. lol

Honestly I think it's brilliant.

Imagine having to go to some event where the speaker smells like diaper shit and dementia-rants for three hours.

Bring a sign, get lots of photos, then forced to leave... All before a single geriatric shit smell hits your nose.

Gonna disagree with that, brother. They're more bold to say it in public. Then when they get called out, their gofund me gets money

Time and place.

It's "All lives matter" energy while ignoring the root issue.

no they just don't want their base see it and hear from literate people what it says

Well, I'd say time and place, but also phrasing. It's a joke I've seen made workable a few times elsewhere, but this was definitely not it. hehe

"All Apes Together Strong"

Agreed. I came to this comment section to see whether someone would make that point and whether they could do it without pissing everyone off.

I didn't expect it to be so amateurish and in all likelihood racist.

I'd rather be an ape a 100 times more than a fascist. At least then I'd have some reasonable excuse for my actions.

Yes, along with every other person who isn't one of their billionaire donors. They only respect extreme wealth.

I'm glad my comment history passes the smell test.

It's OK to make jokes on serious topics. My joke was that some smartass would come in and make an accurate but ill-advised point. That's why I misspelled "actually" and didn't complete it.

I saw this post first, but there's another one with much more responses in a more popular community. Someone else made the joke, and it seemed like no one wigged out about it.

Notable that this would have occurred under rules governing behavior in the House and that it would have been the House leadership who did the actual ejecting.

Fuck me that made me laugh too hard.

that will show him for spreading such lies. I hate this timeline.

Just FYI this was 100% planned on both his part as well house leadership. He was kicked out last year under similar circumstances. He wasn't kicked out for what the sign said.

Yep. It was 100% planned beforehand, and house leadership knew it would happen. The same thing would happen in the same way if he were carrying a sign that said "white lives matter."

Yea it's a great way for a congress member to protest. It's visible, you can control the narrative, and it's way more active the boycotting or going to the alternative state of the union put on by notable Pro-Clinton PAC MoveOn.org
