House Speaker - Kamala Harris - Mike Johnson - President Joe Biden - Republican Party - State of the Union

From eye-rolls to grimaces, House Speaker Mike Johnson stole the show at Biden's State of the Union address!

House Speaker Mike Johnson, representing the House Republicans, caught everyone's attention with his array of facial expressions during President Biden's State of the Union address. From eye-rolls to grimaces, Johnson's reactions became the highlight of the event, overshadowing even some of the key points of Biden's speech. His antics sparked a wave of memes and social media frenzy, making him an overnight sensation.

Vice President Kamala Harris's apparent cold shoulder towards Johnson added fuel to the fire, creating even more buzz. As Biden sparred with GOP lawmakers, Johnson's expressions of disapproval and disbelief further fueled the already tense political atmosphere in the room.

Despite the seriousness of the event, Johnson's comical display of emotions provided a much-needed light-hearted touch to the otherwise somber occasion. His unexpected rise to fame as a meme icon has solidified his place in the annals of State of the Union history.

In a surprising turn of events, the inkstand in front of Johnson, a historic artifact dating back over 200 years, added a touch of tradition to the modern-day political drama. The inkstand, a symbol of long-standing House traditions, stood witness to Johnson's memorable performance that captivated the nation.
