Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called President Biden a 'liar' when Biden said some Republicans wanted to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security during his State of the Union address. “I'm glad to see it, I enjoy conversion,” Biden quipped.
In his State of the Union address, President Biden said “the soul of this nation is strong, because … the backbone of this nation is strong” as he delivered a defiant, sweeping speech, hailing bipartisan laws and challenging Republicans. The speech was punctuated by outbursts from Republicans over immigration and the border, Medicare and Social Security. The flares from the GOP lawmakers drew shushing from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as he sat behind the president.
Biden says the climate crisis doesn’t care if people are in a red or blue state. “It’s an existential threat,” he said. “We have an obligation not to ourselves what our children, grandchildren are confronting.” In the official Republican response to Biden’s address, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said without evidence, “we are under attack in a left wing culture warciting her own executive actions to “ban CRT [critical race theory], racism and indoctrination in our schools.”
