But that silence soon began to break with shouts of \u201cLies!\u201d as Biden criticized Republicans on issues ranging from the economy to immigration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was among the first to heckle Biden during his speech, calling out the president\u2019s son for alleged tax evasion as he touched on his economic plans to raise taxes for the wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt\u2019s my goal to cut the federal deficit $3 trillion more by making big corporations and the very wealthy finally pay their fair share,\u201d Biden said in his prepared remarks. \u201cIf you want to make a million bucks \u2013 great! Just pay your fair share in taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cTell Hunter to pay his taxes!\u201d Greene called out from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> However, emotions in the House chamber became more raw as Biden pivoted to the southern border.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> As expected, the president cited a compromise on the border, part of a larger bill that includes foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel, that Senate Republicans rejected and Johnson declared \u201cdead on arrival\u201d in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIn November, my team began serious negotiations with a bipartisan group of senators,\u201d Biden said of the deal, which was met with groans and boos from Republicans. \u201cThe result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of border security reforms we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Greene then interrupted Biden a second time to yell, \u201cLaken Riley, say her name!\u201d referring to the nursing student who was killed on the University of Georgia campus earlier this year. Although the Democrats shushed and booed her, Biden did say Riley\u2019s name.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u201cLaken Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,\u201d Biden repeated after Greene. \u201cTo her parents, I say \u2014 my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Biden was also heckled by a handful of guests attending the State of the Union, both of whom were escorted out of the House chamber by security. One guest was removed from the House floor after yelling, \u201cSays who!\u201d in response to Biden citing more than 30,000 Palestinians being killed in the war in Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Another guest was escorted out after yelling \u201cMarines!\u201d at Biden while the president was speaking about Abbey Gate, in reference to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan during which 13 service members were killed.<\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p> The heckling lasted throughout the address, with GOP lawmakers not letting up until Biden\u2019s closing remarks. When Biden said, \u201cLet me close with this,\u201d Republicans cheered and yelled, \u201cYay!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> The heckling comes despite a request from Johnson earlier this week not to make a scene during the address and to uphold decorum. Even so, Johnson did not hide his facial expressions as he rolled his eyes and shook his head at comments made by Biden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden was met with repeated heckling from House Republicans during his annual State of the Union despite urging from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to uphold decorum heading into the annual address.\u00a0 Republican lawmakers were mostly stoic as Biden began his speech on Thursday evening, with few of the shouts and boos that are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2955,"featured_media":2195141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/wex-s3.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AP24068127809549-1024x683.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2195140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/wex-s3.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AP24068127809549-1024x683.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2195140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2955"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2195140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2195140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2195141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2195140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2195140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2195140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
