Watch the moment Rep. Lauren Boebert interrupts, heckles President Biden during State of the Union

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert interrupted and heckled President Joe Biden as he was coming to the end of his State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's moment came as Biden began to discuss how his son, who died of cancer, was among the many veterans who may have suffered from the toxic exposure injuries from military burn pits, used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan.

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

Rep. Lauren Boebert's comment drew an outpouring of boos from Democrats, adding a note of division to an address that received several moments of robust bipartisan applause.

After the address, Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted, "When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there."

If the politicians had to serve on the front line, there would be much less war.

[jongabrielminney]

if soldiers and sailors were supported the way politicians claim, then there wouldn't be a need for Wounded Warrior Project and the like.

It's amazing most of the people running this country have never served it.

"13 of them, and you put them there."

My girlfriends father was in the trenches during the atomic bomb test. He died from cancer a year before the government accepted responsibility. Almost 60 years later

Yup. Our unit along with others got exposed to all that burning oil smoke in Kuwait back in 91. At times we couldn't see 50 yards in front of us in the middle of the day because of the burning oil smoke.

Believe she said, "You put them there, thirteen of them".

Most likely a reference to the servicemen who were killed during the exit of Afghanistan.

We're clearly on the path of the inevitable repetition of history, since we refuse to learn its lessons.

Looks more like the geriatric ward than a panel of leaders

[Punisherall]

It's too late for some of them. They're drowning in that kool-aid

[masjuggalo]

It is sad that those 13 soldiers died during our withdrawal from Afghanistan. I also feel its terrible about the 2401 American soldiers that have died in a effort to remove the Taliban and Install a democratic government.

The people who are complaining that she's being disrespectful were also the same ones who cheered pelosi when she ripped Trump's speech.

[WilliamReynolds]

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...
