(WASHINGTON, D.C.) –Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) issued the following statement after President Joe Biden made his last State of the Union address. 

“President Biden’s speech tonight is further proof that he and his Administration are out of touch with the American people and the very serious issues facing our country. The entire speech was incredibly divisive and an attempt to win over the most far-Left in his party. 

Under his leadership, over 7 million illegal migrants have entered the United States. Over 100,000 citizens are dying of drug overdoses per year and being murdered by dangerous unvetted border crossers. Inflation has skyrocketed. American families are struggling to make ends meet. Our adversaries have been emboldened by Biden’s weak national security policies and lack of deterrence efforts. 

His speech was calloused, and he never once accepted responsibility for the damage and destruction he has caused our great Nation. The clear attempt to further divide our country was abominable. This speech was not that of a President of the United States, but that of a man no longer completely in control of his own thoughts and emotions and being controlled on the strings of his far-Left puppeteers. President Biden’s efforts to win over the American people in the wake of an election year have fallen flat.”
