## Caption

US Democratic Representative from Texas, Rep. Al Green, was removed from the House chamber during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech.⁣
⁣
Green was holding a sign reading “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!” in all caps.⁣
 ⁣
The protest comes after Trump faced backlash for posting — and later deleting — a video on social media depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. Trump said a staffer was responsible for posting the clip.⁣
