Get ready for a wild ride now that chaos has broken out at Biden’s State of the Union address!
President Biden’s address on Tuesday was unlike any other, as House Republicans and patriots heckled the President during his 80-minute speech.
This was a stark departure from the traditional American State of the Union, which is more like a monologue from the executive branch to the legislative branch.
The President faced a barrage of jeers and challenges from Republicans, with Marjorie Taylor Greene leading the charge with her fiery attitude, calling Biden “a liar.”
Watch the incredible moment below:

Freshman Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee and Representative Beth Van Duyne of Texas also joined in the fray, creating an unforgettable moment in American political history.
Here’s a closer look from New York Magazine:
Americans have long admired the raucous debate in the British Parliament. John McCain even ran for president promising to bring Prime Minister’s Questions to the United States. On Tuesday, at President Joe Biden’s State of the Union, America got a window into what that would be like.
During an 80-minute-long speech, Biden was repeatedly heckled by House Republicans and even went back and forth with the hecklers at various points. It was a vast departure from American tradition, which views the State of the Union far more like the monarch’s speech in the U.K.—a long list of platitudes delivered by the executive to a polite reception from the legislative branch. This wasn’t that. It wasn’t simply that Biden wasn’t treated with the deference that the British would give a monarch. At times, he wasn’t given the deference the British would afford a crank giving a speech about UFOs at Hyde Park Corner.
The president faced a steady stream of jeers from House Republicans, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene, who came to the address with a fur coat and a fiery attitude. She offered a steady commentary from her seat in the back of the chamber, calling Biden “a liar” and criticizing China throughout his remarks.
Other Republicans chimed in as well. Freshman congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee shouted “It’s your fault” when Biden talked about fentanyl coming across the southern border, and Representative Beth Van Duyne of Texas challenged Biden to “name one, name one” when he said some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years.

Biden spent much of the night telling lie after lie.
This is why it was up to Republicans to call him out for his shenanigans.
Most people don’t watch the news or follow politics every day.
This is why so many people are likely to believe Biden’s lies.
By heckling Biden, Republicans exposed Biden as a fraud and a performative politician.
Biden is a liar and deserves to be heckled at every appearance.

Biden got heckled last night by republicans because he thought lying to the American people on national tv would serve him well. Republicans called him out and he stumbled and mumbled cause he’s a LIAR. We aren’t better off under Biden no matter what democrats want u to believe.

So why all the heckling?
It was because of Biden’s lies.
The President accused the GOP of wanting to “take the economy hostage,” which was met with strong resistance and boos from the Republican side of the chamber.
The moment was unforgettable, as lawmakers waved their hands and shook their heads in disagreement, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene even shouting “Liar!” at the President.
Fox News has more details on last night’s debacle:
President Biden was scolded by a wide swath of Republican lawmakers for dubiously claiming they want to cut Social Security and Medicare.
During his second State of the Union address Tuesday night, Biden face strong resistance from the GOP, who he accused of wanting to take the economy “hostage.”
“Some of my Republican friends want to take the economy hostage, which I get it, unless I agree with their economic plans.” Biden said. “All of you know should know what those plans are.”
“Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security sunset,” Biden said before clarifying, “I’m not saying it’s a majority.”
That was met with resounding boos with lawmakers waving their hands and shaking their heads.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., was seen shouting, “Liar!” at the president.
So what do you think?
Are you proud of MTG for standing up to Joe Biden?
