As Trump entered the House chamber, Green, a Texas Democrat, unfurled a white sign that read: "Black people aren't apes." This is a reference to a social media video posted earlier this month by Trump that included a clip depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes. The White House eventually took down the video and Trump said a staffer posted the video.
