President Joe Biden gets a B for his first official State of the Union address. But some members of the GOP earned a solid F for their vile and disrespectful behavior.
As Joe Biden starts talking about his son who died, Lauren Boebert gets up and yells some trash statement about Biden being responsible for 13 dead soldiers.
And it was such a vile moment that even some Republicans said, “sh,” and I think Lindsay Graham was seen mouthing shut up, and I think the most disrespectful and vile moment that I’ve ever seen previously.
If you had asked me, what’s, what’s the most disrespect you’ve seen during a State of the Union, I would’ve said, well, it was when Republican Congressman Joe Wilson yelled, “you lie” at Barack Obama.
And that was disrespectful and totally out of order. That was nothing compared to this. And I’m not excusing what Joe Wilson did some years ago, but this is just vile.
These people have no business. I don’t, I don’t even wanna say jobs because I don’t wanna say, like I was gonna say they have no business teaching kindergarten or being a cashier or, you know, mowing your lawn. But I, I don’t, I don’t wanna insult people who do those jobs. I don’t even know, they, they have no business doing anything where they come in contact with anyone or affect anyone. People like Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert, both of whom also turned their backs on Joe Biden as he was walking in, just desperate for attention, and listen, they got it to some degree because they’re so disgusting. And, the lowest, absolute moment of any State of the Union that I can remember.
As for the speech itself, Biden started out strong and set the right tone with his comments condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and committing to protect NATO territory. The rest of the speech contained herky jerky transitions and vague policies, many of which will never see the light of day.
