Much has been made of the Democrats’ heckling of President Donald Trump during his State of the Union address this week. Defenders of the president categorized the shouting and dissension, particularly from left-wing radicals Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), as rude behavior, breaking decorum, and disrespectful. Detractors of Trump will cite similar incidents over the years, including outbursts by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and former Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who heckled then-President Joe Biden, and former Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), who shouted “you lie” at then-President Barack Obama.

Some Democrats were conciliatory about Omar and Tlaib’s outburst. Others defended it. Many cited the previous incidents with Boebert, Greene, and Wilson to justify “the Squad’s” behavior this week. And if you listened to much of the political discourse this week, it was regularly suggested that Republicans started this violation of decorum, with many highlighting Wilson’s “You lie!” moment as the initial crack in the presidential address decency standards. Yet, in typical liberal, Democratic, and left-wing fashion, this is not true and entirely revisionist.
