Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia tonight.NBC’s Garrett Haake told viewers that Boebert “and Marjorie Taylor Greene…kept up something of a running commentary throughout much of the speech, interjecting.” Boebert, who wore a wrap with the words “drill baby drill” on the back, appeared to be the night’s interjector-in-chief.Biden, as he did throughout the speech, sought to find common cause with Republicans as he spoke of caring for U.S.
