Good Point.
“Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans — some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I am not saying it’s a majority,” Biden said. As GOP lawmakers in the audience pushed back, Biden responded: “We’re not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don’t respond.”
Still, some Republicans refused to back down, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and others jumping to their feet, some yelling “Liar!”
The president answered back, “Stand up and show them: We will not cut Social Security! We will not cut Medicare!”
As Republicans continued to protest his accusations, he said, “We’ve got unanimity.”

What's the wealthy's "fair share?" How much should the not-so-wealthy pay in taxes?
Take a guess.
You're the one that brought up paying their fair share. I think everyone is overtaxed, and badly right now.
I did not bring it up. Biden did.

You quoted him here:
That means you were bringing it up as a subject. So, I ask again, what's their fair share? It's a simple question. You only need provide the percentage you think is their fair share.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivered the rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night, and like many of her predecessors, she did herself no favors. The speech was good, mind you—on Fox, Democrat Harold Ford called it “formidable”—it’s the production itself that continues to haunt those who take on the duty.

One of his loudest shouts came after contrasting American democracy and alliances with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s tenure. “Name me a world leader who’s changed places with Xi Jinping. Name me one!” Biden shouted. But the moment didn’t really go anywhere

It’s a line cooked up for a re-election campaign, and we’re certain to hear it endlessly if the president follows his plan to seek a second term.
This is a lie, he handled the hecklers, especially Marge the Howler Monkey, brilliantly, even getting them to agree to leave SS and Medicare alone.I watched it. At several points the lies spewed were stunning. At one point, Joke made one so outrageous that the response from the peanut gallery watching completely flummoxed him into one of his angry defensive rants, going completely off script.
This is your wishful thinking and not at all what happened.He was completely flummoxed. He was staggered by the response, then made up a weak repost, on the fly about having some bullshit stuff at the White House. When that didn't fly and he got more pushback, he STFU and tried to recover by going on with his speech and ignoring it.
GOP yelled at him. And he responded. I thought it was a good moment.
