A Democratic congresswoman was caught on camera playing Candy Crush during Tuesday night's State of the Union address.

Michigan Rep. Brenda Lawrence tapped her way through the game on her iPhone while Donald Trump was speaking about revamping America's international trade posture.

It's unclear from the picture what level of Candy Crush she was on. Members of Congress are paid $174,000 per year.

Nov. 17, 2017-from Politico:

"Three former aides to Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) told Politico that the congresswoman ignored complaints from them about her chief of staff’s treatment of women.

The three unnamed ex-staffers, who are all women, told Politico that they did not use the term “sexual harassment” when speaking to Lawrence about their concerns, but said that they told the congresswoman that women in the office were not comfortable around Dwayne Duron Marshall and that he treated women differently than he did male staffers. One aide told Politico that she told the congresswoman about “inappropriate” comments and physical contact from Marshall. The aides said that Marshall often commented on female staffers’ appearance, and one aide said that Marshall would come up behind her and start rubbing her shoulders, per Politico.

Lawrence denied to Politico that she received any sexual harassment complaints

Meh. I think we’re all better off if Brenda Lawrence plays Candy Crush all day.

Kewl Marxine Waters impersonation...you go girl!

[Tax-chick]

LOL - excellent observation!

Now, THAT's a well-crafted paragraph! (from the article)

OMG! That’s Flip Wilson!

[Maceman]

I don’t blame her. If I had been a congressional rep during Obama’s SOTU speeches, I would have had my nose stuck to my phone reading FreeRepublic.

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL. That’s an important detail, to know what level in the game she had reached.

Sarcasm

[G Larry]

Pelosi should have followed that lead.

It would have been better than her face fidgets, seemingly on the verge of explosion.

(WHICH, with all of her botox injections requires extraordinary stimulus)

[Ben Hecks]

“Da devil made me do it!”

[bgill]

I thought they weren’t supposed to bring in their cell phones. Further proof demonrats don’t follow the rules.

[bgill]

This should be all over CNN, but noooo, we have to get this from a foreign source.

$174K/year. I’m going to be sick...

[Heart of Georgia]

Good, let’s keep her occupied this way.

Only question I have .. what level is she on?

[bigbob]

She was just shooting her mouth off the other day about something, I only remember because I’d never heard of her before. And no, I didn’t have to look.

[rjsimmon]

OMG! That’s Flip Wilson!

Flip was prettier, and talented.

[cld51860]

Flip made a better-looking woman than “she” does.

What a disrespectful; loser. She should be exiled for the rest of her apparently worthless life.

[McGruff]

And you probably won't hear a word about it in the Democrat American press. Imagine if a republican did this during Osama’s reign.
