He also discussed HR-1, the Democrats\u2019 push for a massive change in voting laws, noting how the marketing for the plan is different than for a similar plan put forth in 2016, but it is the same massive overhaul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He turned to the American Jobs Plan, saying that it \u201cwould decimate entire industries and spend only a small fraction on roads and bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added, \u201cIt\u2019s being sold as a serious effort to rebuild our nation\u2019s infrastructure. It\u2019s pretty brazen misdirection. At both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, Democrats have chosen to live in an alternate universe where both the campaign promises they made and the mandate the American people delivered were actually completely different than what happened right here on planet Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Minority Leader spoke out against the mixed messages that came from the Biden administration on the state of the coronavirus pandemic in the nation, pointing out how the \u201cexisting vaccine distribution efforts surpassed President Biden\u2019s supposedly ambitious daily target on the day he was sworn in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He said that Biden \u201ccontinues to issue directives that are strangely out of step with the science, like his big announcement several weeks ago that if citizens behave themselves, he would actually permit them to enjoy small, outdoor gatherings on July 4th that the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance already says would be safe right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McConnell pointed to the child migrant crisis and influx of migrants at the United States southern border, saying, \u201cthe White House\u2019s foremost concern seems to have been to avoid calling this what it is: a crisis.\u201d He also criticized Biden\u2019s foreign policy actions with regards to the middle east, China, and Russia.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIgnoring the facts. Passing the buck. Squandering leverage,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is not what the American people bargained for. And they know it doesn\u2019t have to be this way.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBehind President Biden\u2019s familiar face, it\u2019s like the most radical Washington Democrats have been handed the keys, and they\u2019re trying to speed as far left as they can possibly go before American voters ask for the car back,\u201d he said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBut it\u2019s not too late. This White House can shake off its daydreams of a sweeping socialist legacy that will never happen in the United States,\u201d he said, adding that the American people want and deserve a government that works together and solves the nation\u2019s problems rather than \u201can administration that chooses to govern like it owes everything \u2014everything \u2014 to the radical left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
