“I couldn’t stay silent”House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday told reporters “I think they should just shut up”, referring to Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) after they heckled Joe Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening.
Responding to Pelosi’s remark, Rep. Boebert shared a video GIF on Twitter of Pelosi tearing up 45th President Donald Trump’s SOTU speech in 2020, and she wondered, “What’s she so torn up about?”

Rep. Boebert responded on Twitter Thursday, writing, “So Fancy Nancy is upset about me speaking out at the State of the Union. What’s she so torn up about?”
“I will not ‘shut up’ about Biden’s failure in Afghanistan and the 13 heroes we lost because of it,” she said, adding a video GIF of when Pelosi ripped up 45th President Donald Trump’s SOTU speech in 2020.

She later announced in another tweet, “I just got word from a mutual friend that the mother of one of the 13 reached out and said she ‘really appreciated you speaking out'”.
“Pelosi and Whoopi can attack me every day for the rest of the year. It’s worth the heat to give them honor,” she added, also referring to remarks Goldberg made about Boebert during Thursday’s airing on “The View”.

After Tuesday evening’s State of the Union, Rep. Boebert confessed, “I couldn’t stay silent”.
When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.
Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.

On Wednesday, she noted that the “left is pissed”, adding, “Ask the families who lost their loved one how interrupted their lives are now”.
The left is pissed because I called out Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 of America’s finest in a flag-draped coffin.
They are mad because a speech was “interrupted”.
Ask the the families who lost their loved ones how interrupted their lives are now.

The Colorado Congresswoman spoke with Laura Ingraham this week to discuss the mater:
13 brave and heroic members of our military died during Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal. They deserved to be recognized during the State of the Union speech so I made sure to speak up. pic.twitter.com/xJPLXeqF0K
