House Republican leaders are asking lawmakers to behave during President Joe Biden's State of the Union address next week.
Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) loudly heckled the president during last year's address, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called for "decorum" at this year's joint session of Congress, reported Axios.
"He's reminding us to be respectful of the institution," said Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO), "and to the president of the United States and the office, whether we agree or not."
Johnson asked members during a closed-door caucus meeting to "maintain a high standard of decorum," but some GOP lawmakers doubt their Republican colleagues can behave.
"Will they do it? Does the Baptist Church have a bus? Of course they do," said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN). "They did it to Trump and nobody said 'boo,' but when we do it, we're going to get made an example of."
Greene, in particular, will likely be unable to refrain from "spontaneous" outbursts during the speech, her colleagues say.
"They're not going to tell her what to do," said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC). "She captains her own ship."
