In Floor Speech, Congressman Langworthy Rebuts Biden’s State of the Union Address
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy took to the House Floor to respond to President Biden’s highly partisan State of the Union address.
Remarks as prepared for delivery:
“Mr. Speaker, in his State of the Union address last night, President Biden chose to give a divisive campaign speech instead of bringing Americans together with a hopeful vision for the future.
He completely failed to take ownership of his disastrous policies and weak leadership and instead tried to pass the blame to House Republicans.
President Biden tried to pass the blame for the border crisis he created by executive order, pushed for legislation that would codify his bad policies, and failed to mention that House Republicans passed H.R. 2, the strongest border bill in history, that has been sitting in the Senate since last May.
He has the power to close down the border today.
Last night, Biden claimed that “we have the best economy in the world.” The American people aren’t buying that lie — they have to pay for Biden’s inflationary policies every day — from groceries and gas to home heating bills and housing.
The American Dream is unaffordable under President Biden.
He single-handedly created a crisis at our borders, crushed our economy, crippled the American energy sector, plunged us deeper into debt, enabled violent crime in our major cities, and made it harder to raise a family or own a business in the United States.
Americans deserve a better leader than Joe Biden.”
