They censure the guy who shouts the most obvious stuff the loudest.

In the past, I would have thought Green to be an a-hole. Now I think he's a stud.

Why an a-hole?

When another Green did it to Biden, it was in fact because she's a stupid asshole.

The problem we are now in is that the stupid assholes won control of every level of the federal government.

Not OP but I'm guessing because it is against decorum to shout like that. MTG and Boebert were assholes when they did it.

For the record I don't consider Al Green an asshole, I'm just explaining what I took away from the other person's comment.

He seems decent. I worry about his large campaign donors and PAC money. That is a lot of donations from real estate lobbyists. I dont see any private equity donations.
