Patsy Neal: The confrontation between Mitt Romney and George Santos 'can give us hope that we are not totally becoming a nation of uncivil and disrespectful citizens and lawmakers.'
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, right, exchanges words with Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., a fellow Republican who represents a New York district in Long Island and Queens, before the State of the Union address in Washington on Tuesday night, Feb. 7, 2023. Romney admonished Santos for positioning himself in a prime camera-ready spot in the chamber, saying he didn't belong there, and had no shame.I, like millions of Americans, watched the State of the Union message by President Joe Biden.
That is why the display of disrespect during the president’s speech on the State of the Union was so jolting. When our highest branches of government become a place of jeering, heckling and rude outbreaks, it makes us wonder where our country is heading.is so meaningful — and can give us hope that we are not totally becoming a nation of uncivil and disrespectful citizens and lawmakers.
However, It has been obvious that in the last few years, we have edged closer and closer to the style of a banana republic government as our Capitol was overrun by a mob, misinformation and lies have run rampant as one political party tried to stay in power, and now, jeering and heckling at the State of the Union address.
