Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) is leading the GOP charge to boycott President Joe Biden's State of the Union address Tuesday, citing concerns that he will lie profusely.
So far, Republican snubbing of this year's address appears to be down from last year, in which over a half dozen skipped the feted event. However, historical precedent and bitter polarization indicate that Miller may not be the only GOP absentee.“I will not be attending. I do not plan to show up to and listen to him continue to lie,” Miller told Breitbart. “[His] entire presidency has been filled with lie after lie ...
Miller boycotted Biden's address last year, as did Sens. Marco Rubio , Josh Hawley , and Tom Cotton . On the House side, she was joined by Reps. Andrew Clyde , Chip Roy , Bob Good , Thomas Massie , and Matt Rosendale in announcing plans to skip the speech at the time as well. The Washington Examiner contacted representatives for the congressmen and senators who spurned the State of the Union address last time. Sen. Rick Scott , who initially signaled reluctance over attending Biden's 2022 address, plans on sitting for the speech this time, according to his spokesperson.
Boycotts might not be the only spectacle surrounding Biden's speech. Last time, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled Biden and disrupted the address.
