There is no excuse for a member of congress to rudely interrupt any President during state of union address. Decorum and civility especially in our chambers of government even during serious political disagreement is fundamental for our great country and society to survive.

My advice to legislators....If any of you want to take on the responsibilities of the governor, then have the courage to run for governor, and win. Earn it. Do not hijack these duties through the two deceitful and misleading amendments that attempt to fool our great citizens.
Lawmakers who want the governor’s powers should have “the courage” to run for governor,
@PatMcCroryNC
says: “Earn it. Don’t hijack our constitution.”

I remain disappointed that during my tenure as governor, the Republican-led legislature refused to support First Lady Ann McCrory's efforts to crack down on puppy mills.
Good for Lara Trump!
This is the least we can do to ensure that the dogs who produce America’s next generation of pets, the loving animals that so many of us consider part of our families, are protected and have a life worth living — at the very least, that’s what they deserve
