NBC News reports:
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., repeatedly interrupted and interjected during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Greene was heard grumbling through the entire part of Biden’s speech about Covid policy before she shouted a remark about women’s sports when Biden mentioned new laws targeting transgender Americans and their families.
Boebert and Greene tried to start a “build the wall” chant — a reference to former President Donald Trump’s calls to construct a wall across the U.S. southern border — when Biden referred to securing the border and reforming immigration law.
NPR reports:
Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert heckled President Biden during his State of the Union speech as he was describing the death of his son Beau Biden, an Iraq War veteran who succumbed to brain cancer.
Biden outlined the severe medical symptoms that U.S. troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan endured from breathing in toxic fumes from “burn pits,” saying many of the troops developed “a cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.”
“You put them in. Thirteen of them,” Boebert then yelled, referring to the terrorist attack at a gate outside the Kabul airport last summer that killed 13 U.S. service members. The outburst drew immediate and loud boos inside the chamber.
As President Biden spoke of veterans developing cancers and his dead son Beau, Rep. Lauren Boebert shouted “13 of them” — referencing U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan. https://t.co/ndEsiXgm6g

Lauren Boebert just yelled out an attack on Biden while he was talking about his dead son.
Thankfully, she received bipartisan boos.
Absolute subhuman filth.

As someone that lived next to a burn pit I don’t appreciate @RepMTG and @laurenboebert Had to interrupt the first time ever burn pits are mentioned in a State Union of address to score a political partisan point. #trash pic.twitter.com/cuJh2gkVQs

Rep. Lauren Boebert, a critic of Biden’s immigration policies, chanted “Build the wall!” as the president spoke of the southern border.
The chant was drowned out by bipartisan applause for Biden’s comments on immigration. https://t.co/b6kPNP9YDu pic.twitter.com/MhswVqKEP5
