There’s a Nefarious Plot Underway Around the State of the Union Address
America is, today, at a point of maximum peril only seen twice before in our history
Multiple Republicans, from former NRA spokespersons and rightwing talkshow hosts, to Republican congressional candidates, to the rightwing media are speaking out, loudly, about their concern that Joe Biden has not yet held a State of the Union address.
There are so many demands and tweets that David Badash over at The New Civil Rights Movement compiled a list of some in his article about this topic.
Why, suddenly, are all these right wingers demanding that all the members of the House and Senate, the Vice President and the President all gather together in the Capitol building to hear a speech right away?
Why has this suddenly become such a big issue on the right?
Why is rightwing talk radio talking about it almost nonstop?
After all, the Constitution doesn’t even require the president to give such a speech: Thomas Jefferson used to submit them in writing, and he would know the Framers’ intent.
And the Constitution doesn’t require any particular time or date; it doesn’t even require that they be done annually.
