Rep. Boebert heckles Biden during his State of the Union remarks on protecting veterans – By Dylan Stableford and Caitlin Dickson (Yahoo News) / March 1, 2022
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., heckled President Biden during Tuesday’s State of the Union, just before he recalled his late son Beau Biden’s brain cancer.

“When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best-trained warriors were never the same: Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness,” Biden said. “A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.”
“You put them there!” Boebert yelled, according to reporters in the House Chamber.
