Class act Lauren Boebert heckled Joe Biden over his dead son

President Biden’s first State of the Union address was, like him, something of a staid, muddled affair. There were moments to celebrate, to be sure — the bipartisan show of support for Ukraine was particularly noteworthy — and moments to criticize, like Biden chanting “fund the police” just weeks after a conspicuously not-defunded Minneapolis Police Department shot and killed yet another Black man.

Still, if there was a single standout moment from the address, it belonged not to the president himself, but to gun-loving, diarrhea-serving, sedition-enabling Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who eagerly picked up the conservative baton dropped more than a decade ago by Rep. Joe “you lie!” Wilson and chose to heckle Biden — at the exact moment he began commemorating his dead son.
