While i do not condone the interruption of a President giving a speech to the Joint Session of Congress, I do want to note the two different reactions to such an interruption.
Under Pres Biden, he just moved forward, while challenging the interruption.
Under Pres Trump, on the other hand, dissent does not seem to be allowed. And the dissenter was escorted out of the Chamer.
Why is Pres Trump continually showing his weakness?

Hi Lamplighter: This is a sign of weakness by Trumpf indeed. All dissent must be crushed. Sadly, VPOTUS Kamala Harris made a similar mistake last year by ejecting Dr. Ahmed Ghanim, a Palestinian-American physician, from a rally in Michigan. Dr. Ghanim had also run for Congress as a Democrat. Kamala Harris later apologized for the incident. In 2024, she would win 20% of the Arab-American vote, Trumpf 21%, and Jill Stein 59%.

---- Trump. He has NO RESPECT for LAW.
He's in the process of using the System to to Destroy it.
Al Greene is a stand up person. Frankly, the whole Democratic party should have joined him.
He clearly knows when to speak up and that was the proper time.
Trump is a Usurper. And a Criminal.
He DESERVES NO DEFERENCE.
USURPERS NEVER DO.
Trump whined about winning an election he clearly LOST.
He Incited Violent Insurrection when the Congress met to Codify his obvious LOSS to Biden.
---- Him and ---- his enablers in Both Parties.
NO MANDATE.

Republicans are children who only know how to cry and gnash their teeth.
They're the ultimate victims.

My God, it was an insurrection and he obstructed a government proceeding. A ten year serntence should serve as a warning to others.

@#9 ... he obstructed a government proceeding. ...
Did he?
I saw him being peacefully escorted out of the Chamber. He did not assault law enforcement officers.
What did your alias see?

... [Verse 1] Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her Slashed her wrists, bored with life Didn't succeed, thank the Lord For small mercies [Verse 2] Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again Sixteen candles burn in her mind She takes the blame, it's always the same She goes down on her knees and prays [Chorus] I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing [Instrumental Bridge] ... [Verse 3] Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything Found new life in Jesus Christ Hit by a car, ended up On a life support machine [Sound effect] [Verse 4] Summer's day as she passed away Birds were singing in the summer sky Then came the rain and once again A tear fell from her mother's eye [Chorus] I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing ...

Without even touching the victim with his cane?!?
That is most assuredly NOT "assault".

Battery is the action.
