Biden responds to GOP interruptions during speech
President Biden is standing by his comments that outraged some Republicans at the State of the Union. On a trip to Wisconsin the day after his speech, the president said he and Republicans had a “spirited debate.” He said GOP lawmakers “seemed shocked when I raised the plans of some of their members and their caucus to cut Social Security. And Marjorie Taylor Greene and others stood up and said, ‘liar, liar.'” The president then quoted three Republicans –Senators Rick Scott, Ron Johnson, and Mike Lee– who have each suggested major changes to Social Security and Medicare.
