Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) voted Thursday to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) for speaking out at President Donald Trump's speech to Congress even though her boyfriend, reporter Brian Glenn, urged Republicans not to support the punishment.
Ten Democrats joined Republicans in voting to censure the Texas Democrats after he shouted that Trump did not have a mandate to cut Medicaid during Tuesday's speech to a joint session of Congress.
"I don't think that we should be censuring him for that. I just don't," Glenn said Thursday on Real America's Voice. "I think that should be reserved for much harsher penalties or things that someone might do in line of office, fundraising, campaign violations, or anything outside of that."
