Speaker Johnson urges GOP lawmakers to maintain decorum at State of the Union

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is urging GOP lawmakers to maintain decorum when President Biden delivers his State of the Union address Thursday night, after Republicans had a number of outbursts during last years speech.
Johnson made the request during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Wednesday morning, three Republican lawmakers who attended the gathering told The Hill. Decorum is the order of the day, Johnson told members, according to one lawmaker.
He said we should carry ourselves with good decorum, another member said. The plea from Johnson came one day before Biden is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address to a divided Congress that includes many of his foremost Republican critics.
That dynamic was on full display last year, when some GOP lawmakers heckled the president throughout his speech in the House chamber. Cries of secure the border were heard at one point during the speech, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called Biden a liar when he was discussing potential cuts to Social Security and Medicare as part of a deal on the debt limit.

I know my local news station would air them on Saturday mornngs at 10 am but when Obama came in and did his, they (purposely IMHO) moved it to an ungodly 6 am hour (although I'm up at 4 am but most aren't and would have missed something like that at 6 am).
I found out that Biden had "A Weekly Conversation" broadcast - the archived ones being here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRJNAhZxtqH9ZwJnK6qMOczJjf_3RkwWE
Looks like these were done his first year in office.
The problem here is whether there is interest in it if it's not batshit crazy Alex Jones style stuff because the RW-owned corporate media will refuse to do any "buzz" about such things. Maybe with Soros buying Audacy, that could be something on the agenda.

(16,985 posts)...for all that I appreciate (really!) the speaker's admonition, the House Republicans could throw their own feces and it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
