Congressman Lamborn Reacts to Joe Biden's State of the Union Address

Statement

Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement regarding President Biden's State of the Union Address:

"Tonight's State of the Union Address demonstrates that President Biden and Congressional Democrats have lost touch with what truly matters to the American people. The American people heard the same failed liberal policies that have caused historic inflation and have emboldened our adversaries.

"In only 13 short months, President Biden's disastrous policies have taken our country from prosperity and growth to hardship and instability. At home, Americans see rising crime across the nation and lethal fentanyl flowing across our open southern border and into our communities. Hard-working families are losing their financial security because they're being forced to pay more for groceries, gas, utilities, and everyday items. Businesses are suffering due to supply chain disruptions, crippling regulations, and increased costs for goods and services.

"Abroad, President Biden's weakness and foreign policy failures have caused a ripple effect of instability and unrest across the globe. The world watched in horror as President Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in indescribable human misery and the abandonment of American citizens. Now, despite what President Biden claimed tonight, America has not done all it could to stand with Ukraine in the face of Putin's reckless invasion. The horrors we are watching unfold in Ukraine are a direct consequence of Biden's indecisiveness and inability to deter Russian aggression. By my count, Joe Biden has been wrong about every major foreign policy and national security issue he has faced in his presidency.

"President Biden and the Democrats are incapable of responding to the crises they have created. Biden can't keep turning to the far left. He must reach across the aisle so he can hold Putin accountable and fix the numerous problems we still face at home. Republicans stand ready to support legislation that returns America to energy independence, lowers taxes on the working-class, balances the budget, reinstates President Trump's strong border security policies, stands behind our law enforcement, and demonstrates peace through strength."
