Top House Republicans, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), defended their members for heckling President Biden and calling him a “liar” during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, ABC News reports.
Said McCarthy on Fox News: “Well, the president was trying to goad the members, and the members are passionate about it — but the one thing that the president was saying was something that he knew was not true.”
New York Times: “The repeated outbursts that interrupted the State of the Union address encapsulated the ethos of the new Republican majority, which styles itself after former President Donald Trump.”
