Office:
Date Title
10/10/2021 Tweet - "Let's be clear about what's happening: Dems have decided to put their insane tax-and-spend scheme ahead of working with Republicans to pass an actually bipartisan infrastructure package without leftist provisions. Their priorities say it all. This is not serious governing."
07/22/2021 Tweet - "Don't let Dems or the media call what they're trying to ram through Congress anything other than what it is: Another massive, $4 trillion inflation-fueling spending bill loaded up with liberal fantasies like mass amnesty & Green New Deal provisions. This is NOT infrastructure."
06/10/2021 Tweet - "(special character) (special character) Inflation just jumped to 5%--more than experts expected and the most since 2008. Car prices soaring. Housing prices soaring. Consumer prices soaring. This is Biden economics."
05/17/2021 Tweet - "Make no mistake: Hardworking American families are the ones paying the price for the disastrous Biden presidency. - Gas prices are up--if you can even find it - Food prices are up - Lumber prices are up - Housing prices are up - Car prices are up - Inflation is up"
05/06/2021 Tweet - "Biden wants $6 trillion in new spending. Which is more than the entire federal government spends in a normal year. And amounts to $46,321.17 per household. Yet less than 25% of his "infrastructure" bill is for actual infrastructure--the rest for liberal fantasies. What a deal."
03/31/2021 Tweet - "Let's be clear: Biden's radical $2 trillion "infrastructure" bill is just the Green New Deal under a new name. - Raises taxes - Increases debt - Bans right to work laws - Kills energy jobs - Mandates Green New Deal provisions And taxpayers are on the hook for all of it."
