Rep. Boebert's State of the Union heckle disrespected the president and veterans like me

I spent four years of my life in the Army as an Arabic linguist. I come from a family of veterans. And I am angry.

How disconcerting. How angering. How disappointing.

During his first State of the Union address Tuesday, as President Joe Biden spoke about coffins, dead veterans and the passing of his son, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., found a way to lower America's discourse, and sow the very division Biden spent much of his speech pushing against.

She heckled the president.

She bragged about her comment – a scream from the House floor – on Twitter: "When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there." She's referring to 13 service members who died as the United States was evacuating Americans and allies from Afghanistan last summer.

Boeberts.... has no clue how many men, woman of combat and civilians have died in Afghanistan or the GD costs associated with that fiasco from start to finish...

Just resign ....... and also that w*(&%$ from Georgia...

1. She should be...

Bombarded with notes of disdain until the end of her term.

2. Agreed ...

She has no clue what it is like to have been or served in combat or in fact ever grew up in the military family....none....she is in my opinion a pseudo chicken hawk, war monger ....and her kids should be drafted.....

6. They are required by law to register for Selective Service at 18

Even if your parent serves in Congress, the Government, etc. It is the Law.

13. And who is going to read them to her?

Not too sure she can read them herself.......

3. Colorado voters need to rethink who they want in Congress..

They cannot be that STUPID to want to re-elect this ignorant woman.

11. Ignorant and ill mannered.

She hasn’t learned there is a time to speak up and a time to listen. I think we all started learning that back in kindergarten. I wonder if there is a remedial class for her?

4. Meanwhile she and the whole GQP gave Putin a pass on bounties for American Soldiers

What does she think we should have done? Broken our agreement (the one trump brokered) and stayed there another 20 years? How many more service members would have died then?

I doubt she would have even pretended to care then.

republicans have never truly cared about the people who serve in our military.

5. Yes they did.....and that still pisses me off....

9. Worth reminding voters again and again. . . . . nt

7. When servicemen and women die under the watch of a Republican president, the Repubes say,

"Well, he/she knew what he/she signed up for!" and shrug their shoulders.

But when it happens while a Democrat is president, there is all kinds of outrage and chest beating.

8. She is proof that when a kid in class misbehaves, he/she keeps doing it. Even

when there's no good reason, that's the kid that's acting out. Parents don't believe it's just their kid: They think the other kids are equally disruptive but their kid is being singled out and picked on. They decide the teacher doesn't like their kid. But this fool proves that, yup, it's that same annoying kid. It really is.

10. Wondering how many flagged draped coffins came home during Trump's term. .

[MyOwnPeace]

14. HE wouldn't know......

he never took the time off from golfing to even ONCE go to view their arrivals.

12. I wondered which idiot that was. Figgers.
