That\u2019s not the reality in which we live. Democrats spent the last 12 months making major and painful policy errors; the public overwhelmingly disapproves. President Biden didn\u2019t need to say to coerce and rehash a scattered wish list; he needed to make a dramatic pivot, but he chose not to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president first discussed Ukraine; everyone agrees with the sentiments President Biden expressed; but the sentiments are not enough,\u201d McConnell said. \u201cThe president articulated no meaningful new steps, no specific plan, he made no explicit commitment to keep flowing weapons, intelligence and advance capabilities into Ukraine as long as the Ukrainians need them. Nor did he explain why his administration was slow to supply lethal assistance in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, the president focused on trying to claim credit for the remarkable European and worldwide response that his administration did not foresee, let alone orchestrate,\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart from Ukraine, the president\u2019s other remarks on our dangerous world were not just insufficient, they were basically nonexistent,\u201d McConnell continued. \u201cThe president spoke for over an hour but only mentioned China twice. Neither time had anything to do with national security or military modernization. The president only mentioned Iran one time, and it was literally by accident. Zero mentions of North Korea, zero mentions of the botched Afghanistan retreat the administration originally boasted was a \u2018success.\u2019 Our 13 servicemembers who lost their lives completely unmentioned until Governor Reynolds took the microphone. Zero mentions of rebuilding the defense budget that President Biden actually tried to cut last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning to domestic issues, McConnell stated, \u201cMeanwhile, the president\u2019s speech tried to skate by the serious kitchen table concerns that are actually keeping families up at night. The president talked about \u2018Made in America,\u2019 that keeps fighting against energy independence. Democrats want us to buy American but not American oil or gas. On President Biden\u2019s watch we\u2019ve set a new record for imported Russian oil and we\u2019re begging OPEC to produce even more. And his energy vision is to dump huge subsidies into supply chains that are dominated by China \u2026 for our grandkids to Build Back Beijing.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LeaderMcConnell<\/a> on Biden&#8217;s SOTU: &#8220;The president spoke for over an hour but only mentioned China twice, neither time had anything to do with national security or military modernization.
