Rep. Andy Harris to Newsmax: Strip Rep. Al Green of Committee Assignments

Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., told Newsmax on Friday that Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, deserved censure for his outburst at the joint address of Congress earlier this week and now deserves to be stripped of his committee assignments for refusing to accept his punishment.

Harris joined “Wake Up America” to discuss Green’s ejection from President Donald Trump’s speech to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday night and also Green’s disruption of Thursday’s censure proceedings.

“Well, what Congressman Green did on Tuesday was unprecedented in the House. I’ve never seen a member ejected from the House for that kind of behavior, much less behavior with the president and the Senate and the Supreme Court and the Cabinet. I mean, this is an occasion of grandeur, to be honest with you,” Harris said. “And, you know, he acted in a foolish way and, again, had to be escorted off the floor. He deserved a censure for that action. We can’t have that happen, you know, that interrupting the decorum in the House of Representatives like that just can’t be tolerated.”
