Republican response blames Biden’s ‘weak’ leadership for world turmoil

President Joe Biden is sending America back in time, leading the country in a regression that has resulted in a national crime wave, soaring inflation, and another staredown with Russia, a leading Republican, said Tuesday night.

In a biting retort to Biden’s State of the Union address, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds laced the traditional Republican response with scorching criticism that blamed the president for moving the country backward.

“Instead of moving America forward, it feels like President Biden and his party have sent us back in time to the late ‘70s and early ‘80s when runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave was crashing on our cities, and the Soviet army was trying to redraw the world map,” Reynolds said.
