President Joe Biden was met with repeated heckling from House Republicans during his annual State of the Union despite urging from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to uphold decorum heading into the annual address. 

Republican lawmakers were mostly stoic as Biden began his speech on Thursday evening, with few of the shouts and boos that are typically thrown around by the minority party. But that silence soon began to break with shouts of “Lies!” as Biden criticized Republicans on issues ranging from the economy to immigration.
