Marjorie Taylor Greene Blows Off Speaker’s Call for ‘Decorum’ During SOTU: ‘Calling Out the President… Is Completely Appropriate’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) does not appear interested in heeding Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) calls for restraint during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday.

“Decorum is the order of the day,” Johnson told members of the Republican conference during a private meeting on Wednesday.

His order – or perhaps wish-casting – came a year after Greene and a handful of other Republicans turned Biden’s previous SOTU into a circus of jeering and heckling.

Speaking with Fox News on Thursday, Greene said she does not plan to abide by Johnson’s instructions:

Here’s what’s inappropriate – $34 trillion in debt. Laken Riley was murdered… I’ll argue that decorum has been destroyed here in Washington D.C. and in Congress. So, I think calling out the president if he’s lying to the American people is completely appropriate.

During last year’s address, then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appeared to attempt to “shush” members of his party – including Greene – as he sat behind Biden as Republicans heckled the president.

“Well, the president was trying to goad the members, and the members are passionate about it,” McCarthy later claimed. “The one thing the president was saying is something he knew was not true.”

Heckling the president during a presidential address to Congress was once considered poor form. In 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted, “You lie!” at then-President Barack Obama during an address to a joint session. Wilson’s outburst shocked liberals and conservatives, and he later apologized.
