The House of Representatives voted Thursday to censure Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green for heckling President Donald Trump during the president’s speech to Congress earlier this week.

The vote to censure Green was 224–198. Ten of the lawmaker’s fellow Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the punishment, which consisted of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reading the censure out loud to Green.

Members of the Congressional ****** Caucus sang the civil rights protest song “We Shall Overcome” as Johnson finished, spurring a handful of Republicans to yell “order!”

“Shame on you!” Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Joyce Beatty yelled at GOP representatives.

Johnson ordered Green ejected from the House chamber on Tuesday night after the Texan loudly interrupted Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress and refused to sit down.
