Imagine not applauding for "do something about gun violence." Kevin McCarthy just sitting there stone-cold dead. Amazing. It's a pro-death party. GOP members wore AR-15 lapels in Congress last week. #sotu2023

Some Republicans, including Romney, stand to applaud the 50-year-low unemployment rate. McCarthy stays seated.

"Let's give public school teachers a raise." Doesn't get McCarthy to stand for applause.
Eric Woods @EricWoods 2h
OK @SpeakerMcCarthy didnt stand up for LEAD-FREE drinking water. Are Republicans just committed to not standing up for anything?
Sanho Tree @SanhoTree 2h
Kevin McCarthy probably thought he was being clever when he refused to stand up or applaud going after junk fees and airline abuses.😂

Brutalize the guy with his back turned!
A bunch of half-witted roid-rage wannabes trying to outsmart a seasoned politician like Joe was a big mistake.

(81,271 posts)13. And that was one of the times he looked like he was actually awake.
I got several shots of the Speaker looking more like a Snoozer.
