Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

Democrats refuse to stand for Trump as Al Green ejected over ‘apes’ protest sign Texas Democrat removed for holding ‘Black people aren’t apes’ sign as colleagues stay seated while Republicans cheer

The removal for the second time was “of no consequence”, Green told reporters outside the chamber, as he still held his sign for cameras to see. He said nothing would prevent him from doing what he believed was a righteous thing to do. “You have to take a stand”
