The U.S. House Thursday voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for shouting during President Donald Trump's speech to Congress that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Ten Democrats voted with Republicans.

The censure gave Democrats the kind of political black eye their leaders were hoping to avoid. Several Democrats joined all Republicans in backing the resolution.

Green, a Democrat from Houston, was protesting any planned cuts in Medicaid. He said it was worth a punishment to stand up for those who depend on government benefits.
