Lauren Boebert ridiculed after saying she won't even 'hold back in church'
Despite the closed door efforts by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) asking his fellow Republican lawmakers to restrain from any kind of ugliness during this year's State of the Union, at least two mavericks are making no promises that they can help themselves.
“I don’t even promise my pastor I’m going to hold back in church," Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) told CNN's Melanie Zanona today.
And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also was asked if she could behave during President Joe Biden's speech on Thursday night and she shot back: "Decorum broke a long time ago."

"Elect a clown, expect a circus," Republicans Against Trump posted.
"Boebert goes to Church," asked @Geo_Is_Pissed.
@DogginTrump tweeted: "Can any of the House Republicans spell decorum?"
"$100 says MTG has no idea what the word 'decorum' means," says @tomtomkavanaugh.
Others appeared to remind the critics that it was former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who ripped up Trump's speech after he concluded.
@bobbyjoeybilly captioned a gif of Pelosi ripping up the speech: "Ah yes decorum."
Greene notably put the spotlight on herself when she hurled insults at Biden while he was speaking about how "some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset" and Greene shouting "You lie!" and "Liar!"
The incident echoed Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) who in 2009 broke into President Barack Obama's speech yapping, "You lie!" to a chorus of boos. And Obama himself saying "Not true."
The two lawmakers' unwillingness to agree to hold back their heckling came after Speaker Johnson on Wednesday huddled in a GOP conference calling for "decorum" toward Biden.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) confirmed he told the body "we should be professional, we should maintain a high standard of decorum."
"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."
