Donald Trump addressed Congress in some sort of State of the Union thing they’re calling a “joint session of Congress” on Tuesday.
If you tuned in, you tuned into the Dems doing a whole lot of… nothing. We’re talking about some signs and pink suits.
But one moment from one Dem lawmaker is going viral.
Representative Al Green from Texas was the lone Democrat to stand and shout at the President. He was apparently yelling, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!”
The 77-year-old was eventually kicked out of the chamber, and now Dems are celebrating this rare act of actual resistance.
“I don’t know who this man is but he’s a fucking patriot.”
One picture of him being the lone person standing and shouting at the President is going viral:
It’s being called one of the few moments from the night that Dems actually found inspiring.
“Ok this is actually a baller ass photo,” one person said.
Another person called it one of their fave pics.
But mostly, it’s pissing Dems off.
“I really, truly, desperately need the Democratic party to grow a spine. Follow Al Green. People are dying out here. Literally,” one person said.
Another called the fact that he walked out alone “crazy.”
And this person asked, “Where is the fight from the rest of the Dem chamber?”
