The Democratic protests were massive as President Donald Trump promoted his first six-week inauguration for nearly two hours in a speech to Congress in Congress on Tuesday.
Prior to Trump’s joint speech, Democrats had a big plan to protest and suspend the speech. Some were wearing pink to protest “devastating women” to Trump’s policies. Others lifted the sign by writing “This is not normal.” Minutes after the speech, Texas Democrat Al Green was kicked out of the room to scream that Trump had no “orders.” (Related: 22 DEM Senators denounce Trump in a copy-repeated speech ahead of the president’s speech to Congress)
After Green was removed, Trump’s remaining speeches went fairly smoothly when he made a new announcement, highlighted special guests and read the laundry list of the administration’s achievements.
