Right-wing journalist Brian Glenn on Thursday explained why he was opposed to the House censure of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for interrupting Donald Trump during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Glenn’s opposition to the move, though, was in stark contrast to the opinion of his girlfriend, far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who voted to censure the Democrat. All Republicans in the House did so.
“My take on this is probably not going to be popular,” Glenn admitted on Real America’s Voice ahead of the vote.
“I don’t think that we should be censuring him for that. I just don’t,” he continued. “I think that should be reserved for much harsher penalties or things someone might do in line of office, fundraising, campaign violations, or anything outside of that.”
Glenn, who last week garnered headlines with his Oval Office question to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about owning a suit, didn’t excuse Green’s actions.
But he did express caution over the precedent a censure may set if it becomes “just something we’re going to throw out every time someone disagrees with the president or anybody that sits in the chamber.”
“I understand it. But, personally, I wouldn’t get behind that,” he added.
