SOTU: Rep. Al Green held a sign "Black people aren't apes."

Appears as though Rep. Al Green was already removed:

Rep. Al Green held a sign as Trump walked by him in the chamber reading "Black people aren't apes." He was just removed from the chamber.

Great Apes, to be precise

Do they think stating that black people are not apes is controversial?

I saw a comment that made me laugh. It read:

"Damn, he got to protest AND go home early!!!"
