Lauren Boebert

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert drew sharp criticism from a fellow member of Colorado's congressional delegation Tuesday night after the Silt Republican heckled ...

Earlier during Tuesday night's speech, Boebert and fellow Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia briefly chanted "build the wall!" But I would encourage her to stop the outbursts." "Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better." But I’m committed to finding out everything we can." I know." Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness. A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., on Wednesday defended her outburst during President Biden's State of the Union address after taking heavy criticism from ...

"The State of the Union is not a time for theater, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi treated it by ripping up President Trump’s speech while directly behind him for the cameras. "Why was she not removed & spending her night in jail?" "She told me that Joe Biden killed her son," Boebert said. "The left is p---ed because I called out Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 of America's finest in a flag-draped coffin," Boebert tweeted Wednesday morning. "Headaches, numbness, dizziness, a cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin." "You put them there — 13 of them!"

Rep. Lauren Boebert doubled down Wednesday on her heckling of President Biden during the State of the Union address over his chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal ...

Boebert doubled down Wednesday morning, tweeting: “The left is pissed because I called out Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 of America’s finest in a flag-draped coffin. “Americans remember your sacrifice, and we are forever indebted to you.” “The left is pissed because I called out Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 of America’s finest in a flag-draped coffin. “It was inappropriate for the family of the fallen that were actually in that chamber,” Crow added. He won’t condemn you because he is a colossal coward.” “She certainly doesn’t understand service and doesn’t understand sacrifices. And I think – I think everybody would agree with that.” A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.” Throughout Biden’s speech, Greene was spotted making faces and muttering, particularly when the president spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children. There were other issues I strongly disagree with. There were issues I strongly agreed with. I told him directly he did it.

Rep. Lauren Boebert responded by saying: “I will not shut up'' about what she called Biden's failure in Afghanistan.

Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “you lie!” at President Barack Obama during a joint speech to Congress in 2009. The television cameras were focused on Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, when the heckling occurred. The incidents were just the latest breach of decorum for a presidential address, an annual event where unruly behavior by lawmakers has become more frequent. Greene, a Georgia freshman and member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, stood up and began chanting, ‘Build the wall! Build the wall!’ in reference to the border wall former President Donald Trump began building during his administration. Thirteen of them!”

Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) taunted the president as he delivered his State of the Union address, at one point chanting “Build the wall!

Boebert and Greene led a chant of “Build the wall!” — a slogan popular among supporters of Trump — when Biden talked about his plans to tackle immigration. Some in the chamber — including Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — seemed to mock the president as he went on with his speech. I will not ‘shut up’ about Biden’s failure in Afghanistan and the 13 heroes we lost because of it.” I told him directly he did it. By the end of Biden’s address, Boebert tweeted, “When Biden said flag-draped coffins I couldn’t stay silent. I think they should just shut up.”

The day after heckling during the State of the Union address, Lauren Boebert isn't issuing an apology, but she is sending a fundraising appeal.

Thirteen years later, our politics has become so poisoned that Boebert didn’t feel any real pressure to show any contrition, and House Republican leaders were content to ignore the whole matter. Of course there were no apparent efforts from House Republican leaders to admonish their member for heckling a sitting president while he honored fallen American troops. Appearing on a conservative radio program yesterday, the GOP congresswoman said “a lot of people” thanked her for Tuesday night’s outburst. The Democrat specifically expressed concern about American troops’ proximity to burn pits, and the ongoing health risks those pits may have created, before referencing the death of his own son, who served in Iraq. But it really wasn’t that long ago when such behavior was at least somewhat controversial. Of course she sent out a new fundraising solicitation.
