Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was determined to make her point during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. She knew that Democrats would not be pleased with her words, but she was undeterred. Greene was elected to Congress by the conservative base to be a vocal advocate for their beliefs, and she did not hesitate to do so. In a similar fashion to Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina in 2009, Greene called out Biden for lying.
Did @RepMTG just yell “liar”?! Awful. Yet she will not be punished

The GOP should lead the censure of @RepMTG for her behavior.

When Biden claimed that some Republicans wanted to cut Medicare and Social Security programs, Greene shouted “liar” in response. She was not alone in her sentiment; many conservatives agree that Biden was not telling the truth. Unlike the Obama era, there were no calls for Greene to apologize for her outburst. Her passion and enthusiasm for her beliefs are commendable, and she is determined to make sure that leftist policies are not passed.
He’s a liar. #sotu https://t.co/BHlttnnaUS

Greene was stripped of her committee assignments last session due to her remarks about Nancy Pelosi before being elected to Congress. Democrats used this as an excuse to punish her for exercising her free speech rights. However, this did not stop Greene from speaking out against Biden during his address. Her removal from the committees set a precedent for Democrats to remove people based on political differences, and Republicans were able to use this to their advantage when they removed Swalwell, Schiff, and Omar from their committees.
This is not the first time that Greene has heckled Biden. In March of 2022, she and another congresswoman called out Biden for his failures. Greene is determined to make sure that Biden is held accountable for his words and actions. Her passion and enthusiasm are admirable, and she will continue to fight for what she believes in.
