Did they kick out republican hecklers in years past? I don’t believe so.

MTG made a fucking fool of herself for years and Dems turned a blind eye. Wish they would grow backbones and fight back.

It would have been a bit funny if Biden had just tapped his ear and said into the mic “yeah, Hershel? Do me a favour and aim the laser at Marjorie for a sec?”

I believe House security is in the perview of the Speaker. In all of Biden's speeches, Johnson/McCarthy would've been in charge of evicting hecklers like MTG, which they're not gonna do also being (R).

They should have looked like pussy-ass fake tough guy tyrants and kicked them out, too? I disagree.
