On Washington’s big night, President Joe Biden gave an aggressive State of the Union address that recalled painful moments from the not so distant past mixed with optimism for the future.

Declaring “the American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told,” Biden said unemployment and inflation are trending down, while wages are rising and new policies are in place to stop credit card companies from jacking up fees. 

However, there was pushback from inside the chamber. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, wearing a red MAGA hat, shouted multiple times during the speech and a man was removed from the balcony for similar behavior.

Along the lines of unruliness, Biden said Jan. 6, 2021 would not be forgotten, calling the attack an insurrection and reminding Republicans, “You can’t love your country only when you win.” 

Reaffirming his commitment to LGBTQ Americans, the president stated he has the transgender community’s back and demanded Congress pass the Equality Act. 

Elsewhere, disgraced and expelled New York Congressman George Santos somehow made his way onto the House floor, later announcing on social media that he would be running for Congress again — this time in a different district. 

Former President Donald Trump was also busy on social media during the night, making his first Instagram post and deriding Biden for mentioning snacks before security. 

“Biden talked about the SNICKERS Bars before he talked about the Border!” Trump posted on Truth Social. 

Although he never named Trump, Biden went after his predecessor’s modus operandi. 

“The issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are, it’s how old are our ideas,” Biden said. “Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas.”
