Journalist Chris Wallace said Republicans did President Biden a favor with their heckling of him during the State of the Union address Tuesday.

“I mean, they literally played into his hands. You know, I don’t know if the people at the White House as they were drafting it at Camp David this weekend envisioned that happening the way it did, but it played out perfectly,” Wallace said on CNN following the speech.

Republicans heckled Biden after he accused some in the GOP of wanting to cut funding for Social Security and Medicare, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) shouting “liar” and others saying “no.”

Biden joked “I enjoy conversion,” and added an unscripted line to his speech, saying “So folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare are off the books now, right?”

Biden later called on Congress to agree to “stand up for seniors,” getting applause from across both parties.

It’s always reprehensible.
My opinion. Regardless of who does it or why.

[SERKIT]

Keep in mind that Joe also agreed to the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon”, so who is clueless in this calculus, Chris?

So there aren’t drooling POS nitwits who claim to be conservatives who think Social Security and Medicare should be reduced or eliminated? Seems to me I’ve seen a few of those evil f**ktards on various ‘conservative’ forums.
Anything other than an utter disavowal of any negative changes to SS or Medicare is (and should be) utter political death and complete ostracization.

Nah. it was called for. The RATS do it all the time. We needed to get the truth out in front of the cameras.

Yeah, rethuglicans should have shown the same decorum peelousy did with Trumps speech. What they should have done was bounce big white balloons around the chamber like beach balls

[RckyRaCoCo]

Journalist....bullshyte, right off the bat...

When Wallace went from Fox to CNN he immediately raised the average IQ of both networks

Chris Wallace is relevant in what universe?

[Huskrrrr]

Hey Chris, are the lights still on at CNN?

[GOPJ]

Chris Wallace - we’re so impressed with your great concern - especially considering how much you hate us. Is it possible your ‘concern’ is fake and that you’re a liar? We would bet on it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yeah, sure...

[TheConservator]

WHO?

[Jamestown1630]

I was just going to ask if Chris said anything about that when it happened...

Someone should have ripped an ear off him like Pelosi and her filthy tearing up of President Trump's beautiful, inspiring, S.O. the U. Address.
