Every GOP Member of Congress Wants a SOTU Photo with Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson
First, GOP members of Congress were fighting over who got to take Willie Robertson as their official guest to tonight’s State of the Union address. Now, even more Republicans are scrambling to get a photo with the Duck Dynasty star before the big speech begins. The barrage of tweeted photos began just before 6pm ET.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) went with a straight-forward message:
With Willie Robertson @williebosshog from @DuckDynastyAE before the State of the Union #SOTU pic.twitter.com/A7KN47s4CV

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) managed to work in a dog at President Barack Obama:
My kids are impressed I get to see one person tonight, and it's not President Obama or Speaker Boehner. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/HfRNfjeIX3

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took credit for giving his extra ticket to Robertson’s wife Korie:

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) proved he’s no longer missing:
I stand with Duck Dynasty! Chatted with Willie Robertson today. @williebosshog pic.twitter.com/XiD6RdI3NH

And Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) proved how hip he is by using the phrase “in the House”:
Willie Robertson in the House (of Representatives)! Guest of my friend @RepMcAllister for #SOTU @williebosshog pic.twitter.com/fPXmPRcpKv

One of the few congressmen who has not yet tweeted a photo with Robertson is the man who actually invited him: Rep. Vance McAllister (R-LA).
