House Dems Finally Heckle Trump Without Anyone Losing Their Minds

KEY POINTS

•On February 25, 2026, Jeffries defended Democrats who heckled Trump during the State of the Union.
•Rep. Al Green was escorted out after holding a sign that referenced Trump’s racist video.
•Despite heckling, Jeffries said Democrats expressed themselves appropriately and remained disciplined.

On February 25, 2026, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pulled a 180° ninja move by defending his outspoken squad who heckled President Trump live during the State of the Union, unlike last year's 'stern lecture' style. Rep. Al Green made the evening memorable by brandishing a sign declaring 'BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES,' a highbrow response to a racist Trump video on Truth Social. While Al Green got escorted out faster than a bad Uber ride, Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar heckled Trump relentlessly, earning themselves a digital shout-out calling them 'LUNATICS' who should be 'institutionalized.' Jeffries called that post 'disgraceful' but insisted the Democrats remained disciplined, basically doing Democratic heckling like a polite British rebellion. He even admitted his own f-bomb reaction was way stronger than Rep. Green’s sign, proving adulting in politics is mostly letting some rage out silently.
