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

Imagine the meltdowns liberals would be having if a conservative did this during one of Obama's speeches.

A Democratic congresswoman was caught playing Candy Crush on her smartphone during President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
A photo from the event shows Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) playing the popular puzzle game alongside two fellow congresswomen of the Congressional Black Caucus, who were also on their phones for that part of the speech.
The phones in the photo show the time as 9:42 p.m., about a third of the way through Trump's 80-minute speech to Congress, as he was discussing the administration's plans to reinvigorate international trade, pushing for trade deals that are fair and reciprocal for Americans.
The Hill has reached out to Lawrence for comment.
Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) and Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) were both pictured on their phones as well.
Democrats sat together during the address, with most refusing to stand or clap during the president's speech that touted the Republican-passed tax cuts and economic growth under the new administration.
