Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden is ready to handle hecklers during State of the Union: 'He got this'
The president will talk about his plan to 'improve the lives of all Americans'

The White House said Wednesday that President Biden will be ready for anything during Thursday night's upcoming State of the Union address, including hecklers.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during Wednesday's briefing whether Biden was prepared for hecklers during the State of the Union.

Last year, chaos erupted briefly in the House chamber when Biden repeated an old Democratic talking point that has long been debunked, saying, "Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset."

Biden said that stance was not from the majority, though he invited anyone who doubted his claim to contact his office and he would provide them with a copy of the proposal.

Still, after making the statement, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga, shouted, "Liar!"

The hecklers became so bad, then Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy shushed them when they interrupted the president’s tribute to a fentanyl victim.

So, when asked whether Biden would be prepared for hecklers this year, Jean-Pierre referred the reporter to how the president handled the hecklers last year.

So .... anyone actually going to watch the SOU????  Hecklers or not, I'm not sure that I can watch it with all the lies that Joe is going to be spewing.  OTH there may be some comedic value, but that's also going to be short lived realizing that someone so demented is our president.

[mountaineer]

I won't watch it. No need. But I would like to see him screaming, "C'mon, man!"

[libertybele]

He'll have a notecard ready with a response....lol.

Likely and how pathetic.

[Wingnut]

He'll have a notecard ready with a response....lol.

With the name of the heckler on the card so Joe can call on him.

1. Giving hecklers passes to the SOTU speech is what Dems do, and did to GWB (and Trump?).

2. The only hecklers, if any, are likely to be anti-Semites demanding Biden force Israel to cease fire, like the hecklers at Schifftyroo's victory speech last night.

[mountaineer]

He'll probably offer to take it outside. C'mon, man, you and me. Outside. You wanna rumble?

[Fishrrman]

I won't be watching.

I won't watch State of the Union.

There shouldn't be heckling during the speech out of respect for the Institution of Congress, the Office of the President, and the United States Constitution.

That's the seat of our national Government, not the bleachers at Fenway Park.

Hope he does not trip and fall down on that long walk to the podium.

Agreed on both counts.

Actually, it might open some eyes.
