Congressman Al Green has been thrown out during President Trump's Address to Congress. 

What we know:

As President Trump was addressing Congress, the chamber became disruptive while the address was continuing. 

During the disruption, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson could be seen warning attendees to maintain decorum or the speaker would order the Sergeant At Arms to restore order. 

During the address, Congressman Al Green could be seen continuing to shout at President Trump.

The Speaker of the House then ordered the Sergeant At Arms to remove anyone who would not maintain decorum. 

In the video, you could see gentlemen coming down the aisle, and you could see Al Green being removed from the chamber. 

In an exclusive interview with FOX 26's Isiah Carey, Green says he was telling Trump he didn't have a mandate to cut Medicaid.

What they're saying:

"Medicaid is for poor people. Currently, the budget they put together requires a reduction of more than $800 billion in the Energy and Commerce Committee, which is where Medicaid is. And if they do that, they're going to have to cut deeply into Medicaid. That's going to hurt poor people," Green stated.

"Texas turned down $100 billion in Medicaid funds because Texas didn't want to pay any portion of Medicaid funding," he added.

"I have been arrested with John Lewis and I'm a student of Dr. King. I know that if you are breaching the rules, the law, and you are approached by a proper officer, you don't resist. I was prepared to accept the consequences for my behavior. And I tell young people, it's okay to protest, it's okay to be disruptive, it's okay to block the streets, but if you do it, be prepared for the consequences, because it's only peaceful protest that can be successful," said Green.
