Fox And Friends: Independents Hated GOP Heckling At SOTU

Fox and Friends couldn't avoid the obvious.

President Biden schooled Republicans on Social Security and Medicare during his State of the Union.

And the post-speech polls showed that independent voters were "turned off" by their antics.

Co-host Steve Doocy claimed Biden's speech writers planned to goad Republicans into a confrontation when the topic of Social Security and Medicare came up in the speech, but what happened was purely organic.

"We understand from our White House correspondent that apparently the White House Comms team is delighted at the reaction, because it looked like Joe Biden was standing up to the Republicans," Doocy said.

Doocy interviewed Kevin McCarthy, who clearly wished he didn't have to wake up this morning. "Lee Carter was with us, she worked the dials and said independents were turned off by all of the heckling. At one point, it looked like you were trying to shush your side of the aisle."
