"We cannot ignore the willful disruption intended to stop a proceeding," Newhouse, who is one of two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump over the Capitol riot, said Wednesday. "Without decorum, without respect, what do we got? What do we have, truly?"

Newhouse said Green's behavior reflects on all members of Congress and the moment serves as a reminder "that we all need to raise our level of accountability."

"This is truly a wakeup call for this chamber," he said. "The lack of decorum has reached a new low. When the president of the United States cannot even come into our chamber invited and complete his speech without the interaction that we saw last night, we have to take this action of censure."
