Pelosi: GOP Reps. Boebert, Greene ‘should just shut up’

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had stern words Thursday for two of the most right-wing members of her chamber after their outbursts during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union.

“I agree with what Sen. Lindsey Graham said, ‘Shut up.’ That’s what he said to them. They should just shut up,” the California Democrat told reporters about the conspicuous interruptions by GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert during Tuesday’s address.

The first incident took place as Biden was talking about immigration on the southern border. Greene, a Georgia freshman and member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, stood up and began chanting, ‘Build the wall! Build the wall!’ in reference to the border wall former President Donald Trump began building during his administration.


The second incident happened as Biden began to discuss how his son Beau, who died of cancer, was among many veterans who may have suffered from toxic exposure to military burn pits used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan. Beau Biden, a U.S. Army major, died in 2015.


“A cancer that put them in a flag-draped coffin,” Biden started to say, when Boebert yelled, “You put them in. Thirteen of them!”......................

Gaetz: “It wasn’t all that unique that Boebert and Greene got up and started hollering. They do that most days on the floor of the House.”

The shape of their mouths in that picture is exactly like howler monkeys' mouths. All that is missing are handfuls of poo.

I am so tired of these two and their constant displays of bad behavior. Hopefully, a majority of voters in their districts will feel the same way and kick them to the curb in this upcoming election.
