Lauren Boebert was booed by her colleagues for heckling President Joe Biden as he spoke about Afghanistan and Iraq veterans and his late son, Beau Biden, during his State of the Union address.

The effects of burn pits, incinerated waste of war, medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more are what Biden was talking about. I know.

Boebert shouted, "You put them in, 13 of them", referring to 13 service members who died in a bomb attack in Kabul. Boebert was booed by Democrats.

Biden mentioned his son, who died of brain cancer, by name.

I don't know if the burn pit that he lived near in Iraq was the cause of his brain cancer or the disease of so many of our troops.

March 2, 2022, is when the Rieger Report will be published.

Boebert claimed that she couldn't stay silent when she heard Biden refer to flag-draped coffins.

When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.

Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.

Boebert tried to start a chant as Biden spoke about immigration, but it didn't take off. Someone told them to "sit down".

Boebert wore a shawl with the phrase "drill baby drill" on it during Tuesday's event.

It isn't particularly common for outbursts from lawmakers during presidential addresses. In 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" at President Barack Obama during a health care address in front of a joint session of Congress. The taunt was used against him by his own people.
