This was our favorite moment from last night's State of the Union Address.
In an extraordinary breach of decorum, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) yelled out at President Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, accusing him of putting American troops in coffins.
Biden was in the midst of discussing how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to toxic smoke from massive burn pits.
"A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin," Biden said. "I know —"
"You put them in, 13 of them!" Boebert yelled out.
She appeared to be referencing the 13 American service members killed in a bomb attack in Kabul as the U.S. withdrew troops from Afghanistan in August. Biden did not mention the chaotic U.S. military exit from the country during his speech.
