Our transportation system is completely dysfunctional. Air travel has never been more unpredictable,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cFamilies go to the grocery store to find empty shelves. Necessities like baby formula have been impossible to find, which means many children can\u2019t get the nutrition they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy noted that inflation, which he pinned on Biden\u2019s government spending, has been hard on Americans when they go to the store as \u201cfood prices are up more than 13 percent \u2013 the highest increase ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGas prices are 60 percent higher than when Joe Biden took office,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cHe inherited energy independence from President Trump, but is now traveling the world begging foreign countries for the energy to power our country. We have all the God-given, American-made energy we need right here, right now, but Joe Biden has locked it away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also noted how America has become more dangerous under Biden\u2019s presidency, with last year being \u201cthe deadliest year in America in 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration \u201celiminated every successful policy put into place during the Trump Administration and adopted a policy of releasing illegal immigrants by the millions into the United States,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cLast fiscal year under Biden, there were nearly 1.5 million apprehensions at our southern border. That\u2019s a record. This year, Biden has already broken last year\u2019s record. Almost 2 million illegal immigrants were apprehended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat includes 66 individuals on the terrorist watch list \u2014 why are they coming and what do they have planned?\u201d he continued. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t include the over 500,000 got aways. Or the countless more unknown got aways slipping in completely undetected as our border agents are pulled off the line. The number of illegal immigrants who\u2019ve crossed our border under Biden easily exceeds the population of 25 states. Think about what this means for our healthcare system. Our hospital system. Our education system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said that powerful Mexican drug cartels effectively control the U.S. southern border, and that has led to \u201crecord amounts of illicit drugs flooding into our cities and towns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45,\u201d he continued. \u201cFentanyl is poisoning and killing 300 Americans every day. That\u2019s as much as a full airplane crash every day. Why is the White House not treating this like the crisis it is?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also hit Democrats for the effects of shutting down in-person learning in places around the country during the pandemic, and for the mandates they pushed.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also slammed Biden for his foreign policy record, which comes a year after the administration\u2019s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur pain and suffering at home have been matched by humiliation abroad,\u201d he said. \u201cOne year ago, our country watched in horror as Biden\u2019s botched withdrawal in Afghanistan left 13 American service members dead and landed a lasting blow to American prestige that will haunt us for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout question, Biden\u2019s decision led to the greatest foreign policy embarrassment in American History,\u201d he continued. \u201cGenocidal China grows stronger, bolder, and more aggressive by the day. Iran is closer to a nuclear missile than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also took aim at Biden over his remarks demonizing millions of Americans who support former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet instead of trying to bring our country together to solve these challenges, President Biden has chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans \u2013 simply because they disagree with his policies,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s not leadership. When the President speaks tonight at Independence Hall, the first lines out of his mouth should be to apologize for slandering tens of millions of Americans as \u2018fascists.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed Democrat President Joe Biden Thursday afternoon for pitting Americans against each other while also ignoring the crises that have erupted during his first two years in office.
