Biden gave Greene the same expression an adult gives a three-year-old who steps in front of them and then jumps up and says, “boo!
It was a great night for the President at the State Of The Union, and any spectator could see that he was having a great time as it took him about 9 hours from the time he entered the House chamber to get to the stage as he kept stopping talking to everyone and taking selfies.
Later, Greene tried to heckle President Biden during his speech, but he was ready. Rep. Greene looked like some kind of escapee from the MAGA rally and her outfit didn’t fit the occasion. As a member of the press, when we cover the President we have a dress code and a T-shirt and baseball cap are not allowed in the venue as an accredited reporter.
Biden seemed to enjoy the exchanges with congressional Republicans in what was a very energetic and entertaining State of the Union.
