WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden was about midway through a speech of about 7,218-words on Tuesday when a Republican lawmaker tried to shut him down with a single one: “Liar!”

It was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whom the president had baited by accusing Republicans of wanting to threaten entitlement programs like Social Security.

Later in the speech, when Biden called for an end to the fentanyl crisis in the United States, another lawmaker yelled out, “It’s your fault!” — a reference to the amount of drugs that are smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border. Another lawmaker yelled out an expletive.

His second State of the Union address was punctuated by outbursts, jeers and peals of mocking laughter, but Biden turned the tables on his Republican opponents and argued in real time with the insurgents. It appeared to be the start of his reelection campaign.

When the Republicans shouted back that no, they were not threatening Social Security, Biden smiled, appearing to relish the scrimmage, and ad-libbed that he was pleased they all agreed.

“I’m glad to see — no, I tell you, I enjoy conversion,” Biden said. He is unlikely to win over a large number of Republicans to support legislation, but his reply to the contingent led by Greene was meant as an unsubtle reminder that he spent 36 years as a senator working to win Republican votes for his legislative efforts.

WASHINGTON—Utah Sen. Mitt Romney at the State of the Union address joined the growing number of Republicans who have said embattled freshman Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., shouldn't be in Congress.

"If he had any shame at all, he wouldn't be there," Romney told reporters after the address.

Santos has admitted to embellishing parts of his personal and professional resume, but Romney said they are lies, not embellishments. To embellish, he said, is to say you got an A instead of an A-. "Lying is saying you graduated from a college you didn't even attend."

As Romney entered the House chamber Tuesday night, he told Santos he didn't belong in Congress.

"I didn't expect that he'd be standing there (in an aisle seat) trying to shake hands with every senator and the president of the United States," Romney said to reporters after the State of the Union. Given the investigations facing him, including a House Ethics complaint, "he should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet instead of parading in front of the president and people coming into the room."

The senator described Santos as "a sick puppy" for his lies.

"He shouldn't be in Congress, and they're going to go through the process and hopefully get him out," Romney said. "But he shouldn't be there and if he had any shame at all, he wouldn't be there."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' 'Normal Or Crazy' Challenge Backfires Spectacularly

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivered the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, and it was loaded with the expected right-wing culture-war grievances.

Sanders’ speech included attacks on LGBTQ rights, critical race theory, the “woke mob” and more.

But it also contained one line that probably didn’t get the reaction she was hoping.

“The choice is no longer between right or left,” declared Sanders, former press secretary to Donald Trump. “The choice is between normal and crazy.”

Many agreed ― just not in the way she was likely expecting as they pointed to her party’s own extremists, and in particular the wild behavior of conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) just minutes earlier during Biden’s speech:

The Best Part Of Joe Biden's SOTU Address Happened After It Was Over
:clap:

On Tuesday night, millions of people tuned in to watch President Joe Biden deliver his State of the Union address to the nation.

But the best part of the night happened right after Biden’s speech was over, when most (but not all) networks weren’t airing his comments anymore and he made his way through the crowd. It was here, where the president could actually talk to all the dignitaries, members of Congress and other people in the room, that he was truly in his element.

After formally addressing the country for about an hour and 10 minutes, Biden spent another 20 minutes cracking jokes with Supreme Court justices, telling stories, taking countless selfies, talking to people’s kids on cell phones, listening to Democratic and Republican lawmakers’ requests for help, and offering comfort to people who needed it.

“Hey, big Jon!” Biden shouted at Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), hand outstretched, barely a minute after he’d stepped down from the dais. Immediately surrounded by about a dozen senators and House members eager to shake his hand, the president took the time to talk to all of them before drifting over to Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who solemnly stood nearby with some other high-ranking military leaders.

Biden gave democrats a roadmap as to how to handle the radical right, but democrats are too inept to follow. He hit, then followed up consistently until those who backed getting rid of Social Security and Medicare backed off. He took that message to Florida and hit them HARD. He stayed on message, he did not wimp out as democrats usually do.
