This is how pathetic the House Republicans are: They have to be told, by not one, not two, but three leaders, to behave tonight at the State of the Union. Via Greg Sargent:
House Republican leaders warned rank and file Republican members in a private meeting this morning to show the President “respect” during tonight’s speech, two sources familiar with the meeting tell me.You know one of them is probably plotting something.
House GOP leader John Boehner, minority whip Eric Cantor, and leading House conservative Mike Pence all stood up and delivered that message to the closed-door House GOP caucus meeting today.
“All of them talked about how the President is a guest,” one senior House GOP aide who was there tells me.
