MAGA Rep rips Dem's sign saying 'Black people aren't apes' at State of the Union

Majority Leader of the House Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) ripped a sign from Rep. Al Green (D-TX) that said "Black people aren't apes" just before President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address.

Trump was walking down the aisle of the House Chamber when Scalise stopped to pull down Green's sign, which was referring to the president's recent attack on former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Green was later escorted out of the chambers.
