Boebert shocks Democrats with Biden State of the Union interruption
The Hill ^ | 03/01/22 11:09 PM EST | BY CRISTINA MARCOS

In an extraordinary breach of decorum, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) yelled out at President Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, accusing him of putting American troops in coffins.

Biden was in the midst of discussing how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to toxic smoke from massive burn pits.

"A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin," Biden said. "I know —"

"You put them in, 13 of them!" Boebert yelled out.

She appeared to be referencing the 13 American service members killed in a bomb attack in Kabul as the U.S. withdrew troops from Afghanistan in August. Biden did not mention the chaotic U.S. military exit from the country during his speech.

Attendees across the entire chamber turned in shock at Boebert for her outburst. A chorus of gasps and a "whoa!" then erupted on the Democratic side of the chamber.

Biden continued to press on with his speech

How many times did the dems boo President Trump.

dems are the epitome of classless and uncivilized.

Not as big a breach of decorum as the time Nancy Pelosi tore up her copy of Trumps SOTU speech.

Agreed. That was insane.

I don’t remember an article from the Hill about that.

She should have stood up and ripped up the speech so the MSM would hail her as courageous like Pelosi.

Reminiscent of Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” moment when Obama was giving the same speech.

Is “The Hill” serious?
This was the real “extraordinary breach of decorum”:

The “president” didn’t mention the thirteen patriots killed at the Kabul Airport in his disgraceful evacuation. That’s what Boebert was objecting to. Yet he had plenty of time for yet another sympathy-seeking mention of his son Beau, who was not a combat soldier (a lawyer), was not killed or wounded in action, and who died of cancer in middle age. Beau had a chance to live his life, get married, have children and a family and get jobs he probably wouldn’t have gotten except for his senile father. The 13 didn’t.

Better than Joe Walsh’s “You Lie!” from a few years back.
