Biden's State of Delusion

SOTU Recap: Biden's State of Delusion

  • Last night, the American people heard no unifying message from Joe Biden, and no apologies for the crises his radical policies created. 
  • After months of being weak on Russia and appeasing Putin, Biden attempted to fool the American people with "tough" talk. 
    • Biden opposed, and actively lobbied against, sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, calling them "counterproductive." Now, he is trying to claim credit for re-instating them.
    • Biden failed to hold Russian hackers responsible when the Colonial Pipeline was hacked. 
    • Putin has invaded Ukraine twice under Biden – and never under President Trump.
    • Biden failed to directly address the looming threat of China and their alliance with Russia. 
  • In Joe Biden's America, the cost of everything is up - inflation is the highest in 40 years - and Americans are struggling to pay for daily goods including gas, groceries, used cars, and nearly everything else. 
    • Inflation has far outpaced wage gains throughout his presidency. 
    • Joe Biden and Democrats want to add another $367 billion to our deficit and drive costs even higher with their tax-and-spend "Build Back Broke" plan.
    • Gas prices are spiking under Biden, reaching a seven-year high, costing Americans above $3 a gallon in every single state.
      • Biden's attempt to claim raising gas prices are a result of the crisis of Ukraine is a desperate diversion from the simple fact that prices have continued to spike since his inauguration. 
      • Biden crushed our energy independence we saw under President Trump by - among other actions - canceling the Keystone Pipeline which killed 11,000 American energy jobs on his first day in office. 
  • Despite his promises on the campaign trail, Biden failed to "shut down the virus."
    • Conveniently for Biden and Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's mask mandate ended just one day before Biden's speech.  
      • Just one day ago, Biden wore a mask while walking alone outside. Today, he is maskless indoors in a crowd of people.
      • Don't expect Democrats to ever apologize for mask mandates, even as they abandon their mask-shaming narrative.
    • Biden's polling firm warned him that he should move on from COVID-19, or risk losing in the midterms - Biden has only ever cared about the politics of COVID-19. 
    • The science didn't change, but the political science did. The American people will never forget the damage Democrats' COVID-19 policies created. 
    • Biden failed to give President Trump and his administration any credit for his historic Operation Warp Speed program, the creation of COVID-19 vaccines, and the distribution plan for the vaccines. 
  • There was only one party that spent two years calling for the police to be defunded - and that was the Democrat Party. 
  • Biden only changed his tone on defunding the police after realizing his radical policies were unacceptable to the American people. 

 The Republican Response: Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds

  • In the Republican Response, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds highlighted the failures of the Biden administration while offering a clear path forward for our country - the Republican way.
  • As Governor Reynolds highlighted, Democrats have sent us back in time to the 1970s and 1980s with runaway inflation that has impacted a whole new generation, rising crime, and foreign policy failures that have emboldened our enemies. 
    • Republican leaders across the country have fought for cutting taxes and regulations to jumpstart our economy again. 
    • 16 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered from the pandemic are led by Republican governors.
    • North Carolina is in the top 20 for jobs recovered, no thanks to Governor Roy Cooper, who follows the Democrat playbook loyally
      • North Carolina's resilience is thanks our industrious people and a Republican legislative landscape of low taxes and regulations.
  • Governor Reynolds called out Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left Americans behind in the terrorist run state and emboldened our enemies. 
    • Joe Biden failed to mention his botched Afghanistan withdrawal even once during his speech. 
  • Republicans are leading the "pro-parent, pro-family revolution" that has empowered parents and students and kept our classrooms open.
    • While Democrats label parents as "domestic terrorists," Republicans are defending the rights of parents across the nation to have a say in their children's education.
    • NCGOP is hosting a Family First Forum March 10, in Greensboro, NC, featuring national and state Republican leaders. 
  • "Build Back Broke" would be a disaster for the American people - it would worsen inflation and deliver billions of dollars in tax giveaways. 
  • The American people know Democrats are COVID hypocrites. 
    • Democrats have ignored the science for months by forcing children to wear masks in schools, creating immeasurable learning loss, especially among the most vulnerable. 
  • Republican Governors are leading the way in securing our border, supporting our law enforcement officers, and stopping rampant crime in our communities. 
    • Republican governors are drawing a stark contrast against the failing policies of Joe Biden and Democrats.
    • Democrat Governors like Cooper continue to make excuses while pandering to radical interests 
  • Biden is a failed president, and the American people know it. In November, Americans will deliver victories to Republicans up and down the ballot.
