Rep. Al Green (D-TX) compared himself to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks after he once again got himself booted from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

This is a guy who promised that he was going to lower costs on day one of his presidency. And of course, costs haven’t gone down. Costs have gone up.”

While most of America was delighting in the USA men’s hockey team’s triumphant return after their thrilling 2-1 gold-medal-winning overtime victory over the Canadians, the Huffington Post and its readers were having a sad.
The HuffPo began by talking about the historic nature of Team USA’s win, the first Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey since 1980. However, the HuffPo laments that the “hero’s welcome” the team should have received was ruined by their phone call with President Trump after their win.
