      Democrat Al Green protested Trump’s speech to Congress, would not relent, and was removed by security. Then from what I understand, there was a vote to censure him (meaningless slap on the wrist in today’s politics) and 10 members of his own party shamefully voted with the Republicans to have him punished.

        I was curious who voted, CNN says these are the ones:

        The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.
