Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defends jumping to her feet and yelling 'liar' during President Biden's State of the Union address
In moments throughout the address, Republicans in the House chamber shouted at Biden, protesting his approach to a wide range of issues such as immigration, Social Security and Medicare spending and the debt ceiling. Biden at one point managed to quickly turn heckles in the chamber into a standing ovation from most Republicans, including McCarthy, when he was discussing the debt ceiling and the national debt, along with spending on Social Security and Medicare.
They applauded as he walked in and Biden spoke about how strongly he feels about reasons to be optimistic about the country. Biden then recognized departing chief of staff Ron Klain, whose last day is Wednesday. Klain spoke briefly, saying not only was the speech strong on the whole but the president made everyone incredibly proud in the back-and-forth with Republicans over Medicare and Social Security.
