Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts.
- Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts delivered his party's response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
- Twitter had a field day with his lips, which appeared to glisten excessively as he spoke.
Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts gave an impassioned rebuttal to President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address on Tuesday night, but people on social media were more interested in his lips.
The edges of Kennedy's mouth seemed to glisten excessively as he spoke, prompting a near-instant deluge of Twitter memes poking fun at the congressman's appearance.
And in true Twitter fashion, Kennedy's lips also spawned a parody account: @JoeKennedyLips.
But while people took aim at his appearance, supporters took note of the substance of his speech:
During the Democratic rebuttal, Kennedy criticized Trump's policies and claimed it was "targeting the laws that protect us."
"Bullies may land a punch. They might leave a mark," Kennedy said. "But they have never, not once, in the history of our United States, managed to match the strength and spirit of a people united in defense of their future."

Droolin' Joe Kennedy. They aren't sending their best folks...

- Joe Kennedy's Lips (@JoeKennedyLips) January 31, 2018Seeing a lot of this and frankly, no substantive critique of Joe Kennedy's speech. I think it's fair to say someone finally did well in that unenviable slot. https://t.co/UP5PDvervd
- Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 31, 2018Joe Kennedy's speech was quite good, showing some of the signs of JFK's oratory and EMK's passion. And proving why he's a rising star.
