The White House insisted on Wednesday that the president Joe Biden there was not enough time to deal with problems like the 13 American servicemen who died in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
“Look, speech like the state of the Union is extremely important. It doesn’t matter – there is no time to touch on everything that is a priority. ” Dogs he told MSNBC on Wednesday morning when asked why Biden never mentioned the Capitol riot.
republican House of Representatives minority leader Kevin McCarthy said Biden’s speech did not provide any solutions.
“I haven’t heard a single solution to all the problems they started,” he said Fox News on Wednesday.
“They didn’t give you a solution to the inflation they created with their $ 2 trillion bill, they didn’t give you a solution to the border,” McCarthy continued in the Republican response to Biden’s remarks.
Biden also did not address a single point in his one-hour speech Tuesday night about his failed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Laurent Böbert, a Republican in Colorado, deepened on Wednesday amid an attack by bipartisan critics for ignoring Biden’s address on the state of the Union while he mentioned his late son Bo.
“The left is angry because I called for Biden’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left 13 of America’s best in a coffin with a flag,” Bowbert wrote on Twitter.
“They are crazy because one speech was ‘interrupted.’ “Ask families who have lost loved ones how interrupted their lives are now,” she added.
Florida GOP spokesman Michael Waltz told Fox Business on Wednesday morning that the lack of mention of Bidne’s troops was a slap in the face to the families of those killed and those currently serving.
“I just want to go back to what you just mentioned, without mentioning – nothing – about Afghanistan,” Waltz told Maria Bartiromo of Fox. I want to say, frankly, what a slap in the face in the face of these 13 mothers with a golden star, our allies, whom we left behind, and the military, who at some point will have to return to deal with this problem of terrorism and there is almost no mention of China.
Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Joe Biden “has no time” to address any topic during his one-hour address on the state of the Union.
It comes when Republicans are outraged by Biden, not to mention the deaths of 13 US troops in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Representative Lauren Beabert (left) and Republican Marjorie Taylor Green (right) made the president several points during his big address Tuesday night.
C-SPAN has released a timetable showing the timing of the first seven presidential addresses to the state of the Union. Biden averaged 62 minutes in the middle of the rankings, while Donald Trump topped the list with 80 minutes and George W. Bush was at the bottom with 35 minutes
“But for Russia, look again, the others are leading. The EU is moving towards increasing restrictions on Russian oil and gas. Canada has imposed a ban, “he continued, criticizing Biden’s remarks. “But Biden knows, and Putin knows he’s on the corner.” Price shoots through the roof, affecting Americans at the pump. This is a big driver of inflation.
“There were over 100 progressives in the union’s state room,” Waltz said. “He would not dare talk about releasing American energy just unbelievably, another disappointment.
What was initially seen as a victory for the administration in ending the 20-year war turned into a disaster for Afghanistan in Biden when the Taliban immediately took over Kabul and pushed US troops to the deadline and killed 13 US servicemen.
The State Department also failed to help pull allies out of Afghanistan, leaving many who have helped the United States over the years in danger as terrorist organizations quickly overtook the country.
Biden was further criticized after the withdrawal, as the remains of the troops were transferred home and the president appeared to have repeatedly checked his watch during the ceremony, bringing their coffins with draped flags back to US soil.
Congresswoman Boubert said this during Biden’s speech Tuesday night, earning boos from the House of Representatives as he spoke of cancer-causing burns from burns affecting the military.
Biden believes such pits led to Bo’s early death at the age of 46.
Earlier, Bobert defended himself late Tuesday night, writing on Twitter that “When Biden said the flag draped coffins, I couldn’t keep quiet.”
The address, which lasted about an hour, was highlighted by both bipartisan applause and loud taunts from Boubert and her Republican counterpart, Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia.
Psaki also pounced on Beabert and Georgia spokeswoman Marjorie Taylor Green on Wednesday, who criticized Biden’s address on the state of the Union “speaks much more about them” than the president’s agenda.
Boubert, a Colorado Republican, doubled his controversial comment during Biden’s address on the state of the Union in a new tweet Wednesday morning.
Senator Minority whip John Tun, the second Senate Republican behind leader Mitch McConnell, condemned the couple’s “antics” in an interview with CBS Mornings the day after Biden’s speech.
“I don’t think there’s room for that.” This is inappropriate. “Speaking about the state of the Union, whether you agree with the president or not, is an opportunity to show the American people the respect the service deserves,” Thun said.
The South Dakota Republican was puzzled when asked if his fellow Republican lawmakers would go public.
“You know, usually the Chamber, you know, I will … if there were steps that needed to be taken, the leadership of the Chamber would probably do that. But I think there will be a lot of condemnation from people, colleagues and whatnot, and just acknowledging that these kinds of antics are inappropriate in such a situation, “he said.
“And I think everyone would agree with that.”
Democrat Eric Sowell called Beabert and Green a “disgrace” and called on House of Representatives leader Kevin McCarthy to condemn them.
“The president was talking about his dead blue soldier. You and [Greene] they were a national disgrace tonight. But worse – because you don’t matter – Kevin McCarthy has it all. He will not condemn you because he is a colossal coward, “Suwell wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
Psaki dismissed Beabert and Green’s behavior, saying it said “much more about them” than Biden’s agenda.

McCarthy has been silent on the issue so far, despite Biden’s applause at one point in his speech when he called for funding for the betting police.
Psaki dismissed Boebert’s protest when asked about it by MSNBC early Tuesday morning.
“I have to tell you that during this scandal I was watching on TV with a group of my team, team members and colleagues, and we were all excited and applauded,” the television spokesman said in an interview early Wednesday morning.
“And that was the moment in the speech when the president talked about his agenda for unity and talked about priorities that we all need to be able to agree on.”
The president’s four-party unity program, which he outlined Tuesday night, includes efforts to do more for veterans who fall ill after inhaling smoke from toxic incinerators, which troops stationed abroad typically use to dispose of waste.
“They go home, many of the world’s most capable and well-trained warriors, never the same,” Biden lamented, before hinting at his own personal experience, witnessing the effects.
– Headache. Numbness. Dizziness. A cancer that would put them in a coffin with a draped flag. I know. ‘

California Democrat Eric Suwell also joined the battle, calling Boubert a “national disgrace.”
Just then, Bowbert shouted, “Crab, who put them in a coffin with flags.”
“You set them up.” Thirteen of them! she shouted at the 13 U.S. servicemen who were killed while guarding Afghanistan’s Kabul airport last year.
Psaki said Wednesday morning: “There is no doubt that we need to do more to help the veterans of our nation, the people who have been injured by the blows of the fuel pits. Of course, we need to do more to work together to cure cancer.
“And they thought about that time and that moment. I think that says a lot more about them than how important these priorities are and how much the vast majority of the people sitting there and watching in this room last night could work together to solve exactly these problems, “he said. added.
Unlike other points in Biden’s speech, which won applause from both parties, Boubert’s outburst provoked only booing from Democrats.
Both Beabert and Georgia Green’s representative turned their backs on Biden as he entered the House of Commons for a speech on the state of the Union.
At another point in the speech, when the president called for a comprehensive reform to resolve the crisis on the southwestern border and the US immigration system, conservatives of the fire dams could be heard chanting “Build the Wall”, one of Donald Trump’s signatures.
