“You know, I don’t believe in the theatrics of tearing up speeches,” McCarthy stated, “Additionally, “I respect the other side. I can disagree on policy, but I want to make sure this country is stronger, economically sound, energy independent, secure, and accountable.”

McCarthy spoke His own speech on Monday, one day ahead of Biden’s State of the Union, torching Democrats for continuing down the path of reckless spending followed by repeatedly raising the debt ceiling instead of adjusting the spending in order to pay down the debt.

“Thanks to four years of runaway spending by the Democrats, they increased annual discretionary spending by $400 billion – that’s a 30% increase in just four years. They took our nation’s credit card, spent like crazy, and left us in deep debt. But not once did they seek or accept any responsibility. Instead, they doubled down,” McCarthy stated.

“In 2021, Democrats passed the largest debt limit increase in American history,” He concluded. “Then, they maxed out our nation’s credit card again just 13 months later. Now, President Biden wants Congress to raise the debt limit yet again … without a single, sensible change to how government spends your hard-earned money. None.”

Biden’s address on Tuesday evening is expected to focus on economic gains and will be immediately followed by a Republican response Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
