Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) shushed members of his party as they heckled President Joe Biden over his handling of the southern border.
Sitting behind Biden as the president delivered the State of the Union address, McCarthy tried subtly to keep decorum in his caucus while several members chanted,"Border! Border!""We now have a record number of personnel working to secure the border, arresting 8,000 human smugglers and seizing over 23,000 pounds of fentanyl in just the last several months," Biden said, prompting the outburst.
McCarthy again tried to keep control over the Republicans during Biden's remarks on China. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted a remark on China, and McCarthy again shushed her. As President Biden speaks about China, Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene shouts"China is spying on us." Some of her colleagues, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy, shush her. pic.twitter.com/d6Pmd1cuTfMcCarthy said he would try to keep decorum and wouldn't"play games" during the State of the Union."We're members of Congress. We have a code of ethics of how we should portray ourselves," the speaker said earlier Tuesday.
His predecessor, Nancy Pelosi , famously tore up her paper copy of former President Donald Trump's 2020 State of the Union.
