boeberts of the world are too incentivized not to. they ll raise money after they shout something at the president. yeah. let s listen to jen s interview with former speechwriters about the issue of presidents getting heckled at the state of the union. heckling isn t what we prepared for. it was unheard of. he eventually got used to it. 2015, he said, i have no more campaigns to run. republicans started cheering. he added in, i know because i won both of them. then everybody cheered for good and for bad. what about you? i mean, it s true, speechwriters, we spend all these hours just trying to get every single word right, trying to find the right line. every single time, the lines that d get picked up for president obama were invaiabyad all your work. jeff, what about you? first of all, maybe we won t see lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene heckle the president. i ll take the other side of the bet. i was just saying, these days, they re heckling each other, may
