Slams the Biden Administration’s Weakness on the World Stage
U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today joined CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss President Biden’s address to the nation and Kamala Harris’ liberal agenda. Daines also called out how foreign adversaries are exploiting the Biden administration’s weaknesses and emphasized the need for stronger leadership in the White House.
Watch the full interview HERE.
Daines on President Biden’s Address to the Nation:
What we saw last night was eleven minutes of rambling by Joe Biden and projecting American weakness yet again. Last night, our Alaskan Air Force of Northern Command intercepted Chinese and Russian aircraft flying in joint formation. That’s the first time that’s ever happened, challenging our air space. That’s what our adversaries are doing, exploiting the weakness of this administration and Joe Biden. He still has six more months and of course his condition won’t get better, it’ll grow worse. I also heard him say it’s time for fresh new voices. If you like San Francisco politics, you’re going to love Kamala Harris. She’s not Scranton Joe, she’s truly a San Francisco radical.
Daines on Kamala Harris’ Liberal Agenda:
I served with Kamala Harris for four years in the U.S. Senate side by side. She was ranked the most liberal U.S. senator of all one 100- to the left of Bernie Sanders. That’s chilling. She’s taken these radical positions of banning fracking, abolishing ICE, decriminalizing border crossings. So there’s nothing moderate about Kamala Harris. She truly is radical in her policies, as evidenced yesterday by skipping the address by Prime Minister Netanyahu to a joint session of Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson was there. It’s protocol to have the Vice President sitting next to Speaker Johnson. She skipped out on it. That sent a very chilling message to one of our most important allies in the world, and that’s Israel.
Daines on the Need for Strong Leadership in the White House:
I don’t think Joe Biden is capable of serving as our president. If he’s not able to run for reelection, he’s not able to serve in the oval office. I’m very concerned. The message yesterday when Kamala Harris basically brushed off Prime Minister Netanyahu- this emboldens the Iranians. The Iranians fear President Trump. The Iranians would love to see Kamala Harris elected as President of the United States. That by itself ought to be a very strong message to the American people about why it’s so important that President Trump is elected, who will restore the peace through strength doctrines of Ronald Reagan. We were at peace. The world was much more stable under President Trump, because our adversaries fear strength, they exploit weakness, and Kamala Harris is yet another weak leader. I’ll tell you, she’s not a fresh voice. She is one of the most radical voices in the Democrat party, and they’re trying to scrub her record.
