Fischer Discusses Biden's National Security & Economic Blunders Since Taking Office

Press Release

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) today spoke on the Senate floor about the collection of crises President Biden has created since taking office. Senator Fischer discussed the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the ongoing border crisis, and Democrat's reckless economic agenda, among other topics.

Key Excerpts

On Afghanistan:

"Leaving even one American citizen who wants to come home at the mercy of the Taliban is a failure of leadership. It should never have been an option. But it has been two months, and there are still 196 Americans in Afghanistan who want out. That is unconscionable."
On Border Crisis:

"If you want to know why we have this crisis at the border, ask the migrants themselves. Many have been very honest about why they risked their lives to travel thousands of miles to the United States. If you ask them why they're here, their answer is simple: The president promised to let us in. We are a nation of immigrants -- but we cannot have an effective legal immigration system if illegal immigration is spiraling out of control."
On Economic Concerns & Inflation:

"Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the other day that our supply chain issues are nothing more than "the tragedy of the treadmill that's delayed.' What an out of touch thing to say. She must be talking about her friends and neighbors here in D.C., because I don't know many Nebraskans who are spending thousands of dollars on in-home treadmills. Rising costs and shortages are hurting everyone, most of all the tens of millions of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck."
