U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., disrupted President Joe Biden’s 2023 and 2024 State of the Union addresses without any repercussions. On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was escorted out of the House chamber for pointing out the obvious, that Donald Trump does not have a mandate to cut Medicaid. He was swiftly censured.

Double standards? Absolutely.
