Members of the GOP shouted “four more years” as President Trump took the podium at the start of Tuesday’s State of the Union address.
Republicans in the House chamber broke out chanting “four more years” following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) formal introduction of the president. Applause broke out as Trump took the stage and the chant followed — a moment that drew mixed reviews on social media.
“Schiff, Nadler not applauding Trump arrival,” CNN’s Manu Raju noted. “And not many Democrats clapping at all. Now GOP chanting ‘four more years.’ Dems standing silently”:

If the Republicans are going to turn this into a campaign rally by chanting “four more years,” I’m not sure there’s any reason for Democrats to remain in the chamber.

If the Republicans can chant "four more years" Democrats can chant "liar." Just saying. Roberts isn't empowered to unevenly enforce decorum. #SOTU

Republicans are now loudly chanting "four more years" in the House chamber, which I can't remember happening ever before. It's like a rally not a State of the Union

Honestly, at this point, I think the people chanting “four more years” know they’ll be remembered as history’s villains, and just don’t give a fuck.
