Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is summing up what he believes President Joe Biden’s first speech to Congress will be like — “boring, but radical.”
In a Fox News op-ed published Wednesday, Cruz sought to “save” Americans some time and describe what Biden will focus on while he addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night.
“He will tout the $1.9 trillion COVID bill he signed – of which only 9% goes to actual COVID relief. He will also trumpet his $2 trillion infrastructure plan that would do very little to improve America’s infrastructure,” Cruz wrote.
He added, “And it’s been reported that he’ll propose an ‘American Families Plan’ that is likely to cost over a trillion dollars, as well as a huge tax increase that would take more out of the pockets of hardworking Americans in a struggling economy.”
Cruz told readers, “Let me save you an hour of your time this evening and sum up President Biden’s speech in three words: boring, but radical.”
The Republican senator predicted Biden will not tell the truth “about the effect his policies are already having on Americans.”
Touching on Biden’s first week in office, Cruz noted the president canceled the Keystone XL pipeline giving “11,000 Americans – including 8,000 union workers – a pink slip.”
The second policy Cruz mentioned was Biden’s decision to stop construction of the border wall, reinstate the catch and release policy, and end “the very successful Remain in Mexico policy that President Trump negotiated with the government of Mexico.”
“Now, because of Joe Biden’s policies, we have the highest rate of illegal immigration in 20 years,” Cruz added.
He continued to suggest, “The fact of the matter is that President Biden is beholden to the far left of his party.”
Cruz then discussed Biden’s move to rejoin the Paris climate agreement, “It’s about Democrats’ plans to destroy jobs they don’t like, including thousands of manufacturing jobs, and ceding control of our energy future to other countries.”
Additionally, Cruz wrote about Biden’s executive order establishing a commission to examine changing the dynamics of the Supreme Court and accused Democrats of being content with packing the court.
“At a time when we are so often one vote away from seeing our fundamental liberties taken away at the Supreme Court — our freedom of speech, our Second Amendment rights, our religious liberty — we cannot have Democrats change the structure of the Supreme Court to achieve their partisan ends,” Cruz wrote.
Concluding the piece, Cruz warned, “Joe Biden’s radical vision for our country is an American nightmare.”
