The President and the Republicans Walked Right in the Mirror Call

White House aides said what they hoped most out of this speech would be a repeat of last year's, where Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Beaubert started heckling the president. They think that split screen really shows off that his, he's somber and serious, and they are unserious and incendiary, and they did it. Even after Kevin McCarthy warned them during the day, they, McCarthy's office leaked that he told Republicans, hey, don't do that. So first, we have another example of the limit of his power over his own party. Second, they did it anyway, and that's an image that the White House is thrilled about.
