WASHINGTON, D.C. (WTVB) – As one would expect after President Biden’s Wednesday night speech, Democrats praised him and his speech while Republicans criticized him.
Michigan 7th District Republican Congressman Tim Walberg blasted Biden in a statement released by his office following the speech as he accused the President of catering to the far-left wing of his party during his first 100 days in office.
Walberg said, “He’s ignored the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, jeopardized American jobs and energy independence, pushed for higher taxes, and proposed a mind-boggling amount of government spending.”
Walberg also said Biden’s promise to unify the country rings hallow stating, “So far his radical policies, often taken unilaterally, have divided us at every turn. Although the President has embarked on a highly partisan course, it is not too late to right the ship and demonstrate a willingness to reach across the aisle. We must continue to seek out solutions to help students receive a quality education, workers find a good-paying job, and families and small businesses recover from the pandemic.”
Walberg was not among those who were able to watch the speech in person due to COVID-19 protocols on social distancing. The Detroit News reports three Michigan Democratic members attended in person. They were Senator Debbie Stabenow and Representatives Debbie Dingell and Brenda Lawrence.
