GOP Rep. Andy Ogles is trying to take away committee assignments from chamber Democrats who sang and chanted during a censure vote on the House floor for fellow Democratic Rep. Al Green for his outbursts during President Trump's address Tuesday night to a joint session of Congress. 

Ogles said Thursday in an X post that he's drafting privileged resolutions to remove them.

"Today, a group of House Democrats broke decorum during the censure of Rep. Al Green and, after multiple warnings, refused to heed @SpeakerJohnson's order," Ogles also wrote on in the post.

He also wrote that if a lawmaker is going to "act like a child," he or she will be treated as one.  

After the GOP-controlled House vote Thursday in favor on censuring Green, some Democrats began singing "We Shall Overcome."

Johnson banged the gavel repeatedly and said, "The House will come to order."
