List: 100 Biden failures in 100 days, ‘America First’ to ‘America last’
When President Joe Biden steps to the microphone in the House chamber on Wednesday night for his first joint session address, his focus will be on what he feels he’s achieved, such as slowing the coronavirus spread, in his nearly first 100 days and his plans to build on that success. And rightly so.
But for half of that chamber, the focus will be on his unexpected skip to the left, his failure to make any attempt at the national unity he promised, his tax-and-spend agenda, and the catastrophe at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“He promised unity but has delivered partisanship. He failed to fully reopen schools for America’s public school students but has opened our borders to illegal immigrants. He has killed thousands of American jobs through crushing regulations while reviving the radical Green New Deal and other extreme climate policies,” said Rep. James Comer, the Kentucky Republican and ranking member on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
“Simply put, we’ve gone from ‘America First’ to ‘America Last’ under President Biden,” said Comer, who has targeted at least seven Biden initiatives for investigations.
To back up that claim, Comer’s team has drawn up a list of Biden’s missteps and failures in the new president’s first three months, heavy on the border flubs.
“President Biden’s first 100 days have been marked by 100 failures,” he said.
Of course, Team Biden, the media, and Democrats see a list of only achievements. White House chief of staff Ron Klain tweeted out a headline that compared the president to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a top MSNBC contributor showed a timeline of wins on his Twitter account.
Highlights of Comer's list, however, show how left Biden has gone, especially in raising taxes, spending, expanding abortion, endorsing making the city of Washington, D.C. a state, adding regulations, broadening Obamacare, and even providing “$570 million for additional paid leave to federal employees so they can watch their kids Zoom into school.”
Nearly a third of Comer’s list touches on the border crisis, a potential political sore that is angering more and more people, according to polls.
At No. 1 is probably Biden’s biggest failure: “Promised unity but has only pushed for a partisan, progressive agenda.”
Pollster Bill McInturff noted that the partisan gap under Biden is higher than ever.
Still, Comer said the GOP would like to work with Biden — up to a point. “Republicans stand ready to work with President Biden to reopen schools, get Americans back to work, restore our economy, and implement deterrence solutions to end the border crisis, but he must abandon the progressive agenda that has America on the path to the socialist utopia the ‘Squad’ dreams about. America is not a socialist country, and President Biden’s extreme agenda must be stopped," he said.
