President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address got off to a drama-filled start as Rep. Al Green (D-TX) held up a sign saying "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES" — a reference to a racist post Trump promoted on his Truth Social platform earlier this month — and then exited after being harassed by Republicans.

Trump supporters fumed over the protest by Green, who routinely introduces impeachment resolutions against the president in the House, and attacked him on social media.

"Al Green is already acting up," wrote the right-wing account End Wokeness.

"Al Green is a national embarrassment. Glad he exited early with his stupid sign so as not to humiliate himself and his Texas congressional district any longer," wrote right-wing talk radio host Mike Gallagher.

"AL Green gets kicked out while his dumb sign gets tore up by Troy Nehls," wrote the MAGA account "Paratrooper Brady."

"Incase you missed Al Green's sign at the State of the Union," wrote "Based Misinformation Merchant," who edited the sign to instead say "Michelle Obama is a man."
