**Rep. Al Green Confronts Trump During Speech – Local Residents React: ‘Where’s the Common Sense?’**
A viral moment from Congress has local residents fired up after Texas Representative Al Green stood up and shouted during President Trump’s address to Congress last night. Green, a Democrat, interrupted the speech by yelling that Trump had “no mandate” and that he would not be silent. Security eventually removed him from the chamber.
But on the “Smithville Community Watch” Facebook page, the reaction was swift and blunt.
“Oh, here we go again. Another politician making it all about themselves. Where’s the common sense?” wrote Linda M., a longtime resident. “You don’t go into someone’s house and start screaming. That’s not protest, that’s just bad manners. He should be fined, not applauded.”
Others chimed in.
“Common sense says if you don’t like the guy, vote him out. You don’t act like a toddler at a town hall,” posted Dave R. “Green made himself look like a fool, and frankly, it’s embarrassing for the whole country. We need leaders who act like adults, not attention seekers.”
The debate is heating up fast, with some defending Green’s right to speak out, but the overwhelming tone from this group is frustration.
“Common sense ain’t common anymore,” added Linda M. “And we’re all paying for it.”
