Rhetoric Joe Bidens mumbled pathetic address to the nation today went down like a lead balloon,
even Kumala and the media were cringing.
Not so at all... well only in the distorted vision of GOP supporters.
Biden was about midway through a speech of about 7,218 words a couple
of days ago, when a Republican lawmaker tried to shut him down with a
single one: “Liar!”
It was the intellectually-challenged shrew Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom
the president had baited by accusing Republicans of wanting to threaten
entitlement programs like Social Security.
Later in the speech, when Biden called for an end to the fentanyl crisis in
the US, another lawmaker yelled out, “It’s your fault!” -a reference to the
amount of drugs that are smuggled across the US-Mexico border. Which
increased notably under Trump's four-year failed term.
Biden's second State of the Union address was punctuated by outbursts,
jeers and peals of mocking laughter, but he deftly turned the tables on his
Republican opponents and argued in real time with the verbal insurgents.
When the Republicans shouted back that no, they were not threatening
Social Security, Biden smiled, appearing to relish the scrimmage, and
ad-libbed that he was pleased they all agreed LOL.
“I’m glad to see—no, I tell you, I enjoy conversion,” Biden said. He's unlikely
to win over a large number of Republicans to support legislation, but his reply
to the contingent led by MTG was meant as an unsubtle reminder that he
spent 36 years as a senator working to win Republican votes for his legislative
efforts.
At the dais, breaking from the combative mood of the chamber, Kamala Harris
and Kevin McCarthy engaged in small talk, with the Speaker greeting Biden
warmly.
—BTW... who's Kumala?
