Not everybody was impressed with President Biden's State of the Union address, however. Controversial politician Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to the president in an angry video message, after heckling him in person mid-speech. Although Biden made it clear in his address that American troops would not be fighting Russian forces in Ukraine, Greene and her cohorts including Lauren Boebert attempted to push the lie that he'd already sent "thousands of troops" to defend the border, per Newsweek.
Greene railed, "Under President Trump, this [war] would have never happened. For four years our country had a real leader that led America and the entire world to peace for strength." She continued, "But now we have a mentally incompetent, feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap." Greene also accused Biden of being dominated by the Taliban and brainwashed by other world leaders, while wrongly focusing too much on restrictive (by her standards) COVID-19 policies. Summing up, the Georgia representative noted simply, "Joe Biden, you are not a president, you are a piece of s**t."
Other lawmakers who were present at the event made more subtle gestures to the conflict in Ukraine, including in their outfit choices. Although Jill Biden didn't don the colors of the Ukrainian flag or live-stream her thoughts on the matter, she certainly showed her support for both her husband and the nation of Ukraine.
