Willie Robertson (Duck Dynasty) will be in the House for State of the Union address.
Boss Hog from 'Duck Dynasty' gets a seat for Obama's big speech
Robertson, CEO of the Duck Commander empire, will be the guest of Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La., according to The Washington Examiner. McAllister won a special election in November with the help of his hirsute, duck-calling buddy. Robertson cut a campaign ad for McAllister, a political neophyte, who beat a more conservative candidate backed by Tea Party groups.

Boss Hog, as Willie is also known, is the son of Phil Robertson, whose anti-gay comments in GQ magazine led to the patriarch’s brief suspension by A&E. But the network backed off amid outcry from Duck Dynasty fans and Republicans such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who said A&E was trampling on Phil Robertson’s free-speech rights.
As a guest, Robertson won’t be sitting with McAllister on the floor of the House chamber as Obama speaks. He’ll be in the gallery — no doubt attracting his own attention.
