Rep. Lauren Boebert heckles Biden as he talks about his late son during the State of the Union
Union Leader ^ | March 2, 2022 | Andrea Salcedo

Posted on 03/02/2022 6:28:45 AM PST by billorites

Democrats and Republicans in Washington at times displayed unity as President Joe Biden addressed the nation at his first State of the Union on Tuesday night. Members of both parties stood to applaud the Ukrainian ambassador and Biden's announcement that United States airspace would close to Russian planes.

But sharp divides between the parties were evident, too, including when the president brought up his late son, Beau Biden, an Iraq War veteran who died of brain cancer in 2015. Biden on Tuesday called on Congress to pass legislation to aid veterans exposed to toxins while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan - a problem he said leads to cancers "that would put them in a flag-draped coffin."

He was then interrupted by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., who yelled, "You put them there. Thirteen of them!"

Boebert appeared to be referencing the 13 troops killed in a suicide attack last year during the final days of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"One of those soldiers was my son, Maj. Beau Biden," the president continued.

Biden has, for years, expressed that his son's death might have been caused by exposure to toxins while serving in Iraq and Kosovo. Beau Biden was an officer in the Army National Guard.

Democrats immediately booed Boebert, and one of them shouted, "Kick her out!" Neither Boebert nor the White House responded to messages from The Washington Post following the incident.

The outburst was not the only tense moment of the night. 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. Both laughed at some lines, uttered retorts and live-tweeted the event.

"Here's another way to fight inflation," Boebert wrote on Twitter. "Resign."

She later tweeted, "You fired our troops. Don't ever act like you support them."

The Colorado Republican, who wore a black shawl with the words "Drill Baby Drill" in white, wrote at least 50 tweets lambasting Biden throughout his speech. The attire referenced her support of increased drilling for petroleum and gas - a stance she has tweeted about in the past and a 2008 Republican campaign slogan.

Greene also critiqued Biden's speech in several tweets.

"Joe Biden wants us to tackle 'mental health.' I agree. We must start with the presidency," Greene wrote.

By the end of the address, Boebert tweeted, "When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there. Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better."

I’ll take Lauren Boebert and MTG over all the low testosterone RINO’s in the country.

Of course, it's because we have no leaders, just poll takers.

”president brought up his late son, Beau Biden””

But he doesn’t mention his other son Hunter who just so happened to rape his 14 year old niece (daughter of Beau) and also had sex with Beau’s wife. Wonder why Puppet Biden didn’t mention that?

Yes, he absolutely was.

“Of course, it’s because we have no leaders, just poll takers.”

Finger in the wind types like Rubio, Graham and the bought and paid for shills like McConnell.

I think this is a lie. Biden brought up his son as usual, but that was a different part of the speech. Unless I’m misremembering…

FReepers NEED to support individual candidates that are getting things done for Conservatives. Say ‘NO!’ to the RNC when they beg you for money.
...............................................
Here you’ve addressed something I bitch about all the time. I would be supporting financially many individual candidates and incumbents IF they each had their own fundraising campaign addresses where personal checks could be mailed. I will never again contribute a penny through any RNC fundraising organizations. I despise the Republican establishment as much as I do the ‘rats!

The entire Congress is AGED OUT and they need replaced...will it happen?

The TX primary results indicate that the RINOS are not likely to lose their reelection races. One of the RINOS, Van Taylor, faces a runoff opponent, unless the numbers have changed.

Absolutely agree with you. I despise RINOs every bit as much as I do the stinking ‘rats, especially that POS known as the Turtle (an insult to all reptiles)!

I like MTG too, but her tendency to associate with “far right” activists is hurting her.

Wiki is Still perpetuating the Jill myth.....that they met on a blind date and Jill turned up as a babysitter.

Reality check......her ex wrote a book telling how he and jill were married....and worked as Joe’s campaign volunteers.

The ex then discovered joe/Jill were getting it on......from a garage man who fixed his car....seems the lovebirds’ had a fender bender.

The Beau myth continues as well.

Hey, Joe: how long was your hero son gone before your cokehead son started screwing his widow? If it were possible to be more disgusting than you, he’s pretty close.

Propaganda: Fake President Biden Releases Photo Signing Blank Sheet of Paper
Infowars ^ | 2 March 2022
Posted on 3/2/2022, 12:59:26 PM by Fractal Trader

Joe Biden released some propaganda on Tuesday showing him appearing to sign something important regarding the Ukraine-Russian conflict, which actually turns out to be a blank sheet of paper.

He’s not even trying to hide his illegitimacy anymore.

“I just spoke with President Zelenskyy to discuss our continued support for Ukraine — including security assistance and humanitarian aid — as it defends itself against Russian aggression. We will hold Russia accountable, and our sanctions are already having a devastating impact,” Biden tweeted.

That all sounds super important, except Biden is not signing anything. In fact, he could just be about to draw a stick figure.

Notably, Biden is also not seated in the Oval Office for this important discussion with Zelensky, which for all we know he could have also made up.

Given the absurd levels of propaganda circulating social media during this burgeoning regional European conflict, it’s unsurprising to see the puppet president hopping on the misinformation bandwagon.
