Rep. Lauren Boebert is making headlines tonight for interrupting Biden at the State of the Union when he mentioned how troops in Iraq and Afghanistan suffered after breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits.
Here’s the video:

When Biden said “Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness. A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin. I know.”, Boebert interrupted and said “You put them in, 13 of them!”
Dayum!
She was referring to the 13 of our military servicemembers that died in the attack on the airport in Kabul last year during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal. Of course, she was immediately booed by Democrats.
During the same portion of Biden’s speech, when he was talking about the toxic smoke that troops had to breathe in that did them harm, Nancy Pelosi started rubbing her hands together and stood up. To say it was odd is an understatement:

What. The. Hell. She looked like she was celebrating our troops suffering from this. Someone needs to ask her why she would do this because it was seriously messed up.
Lastly, to leave you on a good note, here’s Boebert and MTG chanting “Build the wall” when Biden said we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system:

The #SOTU is over and so is social distancing.
The political science has been decided… pic.twitter.com/3SPcuOuFJh

Every word you heard from Joe Biden was a lie.
We expected bad, but the #SOTU is worse than we ever could’ve imagined.

When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.
Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.
