Biden praises GOP Rep he previously criticized.

President Biden’s Change of Heart on “MAGA Republican” Rep. Mike Lawler

President Joe Biden recently had a change of heart about one of the “MAGA Republicans” he frequently attacks. During a speech in Valhalla, N.Y., on Wednesday, Biden said that Rep. Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) is “the kind of Republican I was used to dealing with.” This is a stark contrast to just 10 days earlier when the president included a photo of Lawler in an April 30 tweet calling out “MAGA Republicans in Congress.”

A Sacred Obligation to Our Veterans

In the tweet, Biden stated, “We have a sacred obligation to care for the men and women who fought to protect our freedom,” and featured photos of House Republicans who he claimed voted to “undermine veterans’ health care.” “This is how MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to repay them,” the tweet said.

Despite Biden’s apparent change of heart, Democrats on Wednesday slammed Lawler, Fox News reported. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) referred to Lawler as a “rubber stamp” for the “GOP’s far-right extremist agenda.”

Thanks for Coming, Mike

On Wednesday, Biden painted Lawler in the opposite light, saying, “He’s not one of these MAGA Republicans, which I’m going to talk a little bit about. I don’t want to get him in trouble by saying anything nice about him or negative about him, but thanks for coming, Mike.”

It’s clear that politics can be a fickle game, and politicians can change their tune quickly. However, it’s important to remember that our veterans deserve our utmost respect and care, regardless of political affiliation.

Democrats Slam Lawler

• The DCCC wrote in a press release Wednesday that “Despite highly-vulnerable Republican Mike Lawler’s attempts to deceive New Yorkers, his record since entering Congress proves that the increasingly endangered congressman is merely a rubber stamp for his MAGA colleagues to put New Yorkers’ jobs, safety, health care, reproductive rights, and financial security all at risk.”

It’s clear that the political landscape is constantly shifting, and it’s important to stay informed and engaged in the issues that matter most to us.
