Psaki says Biden ‘didn’t have time’ to mention everything in his hour-long speech

The White House insisted on Wednesday that President Joe Biden There was not enough time to address issues such as the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the 13 US service members killed in the attack on the Capitol on January 6.

‘Look, a speech like the State of the Union is very important. It doesn’t touch – it doesn’t have time to touch everything that is priority,’ saki told MSNBC on Wednesday morning that when asked why Biden never mentioned the Capital riots.

Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Biden’s speech was void to offer a solution.

He said, ‘I haven’t heard of one solution to all the problems he started Fox News on Wednesday.

In the GOP backlash against Biden’s remarks, McCarthy continued, “They didn’t give you a solution to the inflation created by your $2 trillion bill, they didn’t give a solution to the limit.”

Biden also did not address his embroiled return from Afghanistan at any point in his hour-long speech on Tuesday evening.

Colorado GOP Representative Lauren Boebert is digging her heels on Wednesday amid an onslaught of bipartisan criticism for Biden’s State of the Union address while referring to her late son Beau.

Boebert wrote on Twitter, ‘On the left is the p***ed as I called for the failed return of Biden from Afghanistan, leaving behind 13 of America’s finest coffins.

‘They are mad because a speech was ‘interrupted’. Ask families who have lost loved ones how disrupted their lives are now,’ she said.

Florida GOP representative Michael Walz told Fox Business Wednesday morning that the lack of mention of soldiers killed by Bidne was a “slap in the face” to the families of the dead and those currently serving.

Waltz told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo, ‘I just want to go back to what you just mentioned, zero mention—nothing—on Afghanistan. ‘I mean, just frankly, a slap in the face to those 13 Gold Star moms, to our colleagues that we left behind and to the service members that at some point have to go back to tackle this terrorism problem. And barely any mention of China.’

‘But on Russia, look again, others are moving forward. The European Union is moving towards greater sanctions on Russian oil and gas. Canada has banned,’ he continued to criticize Biden’s remarks. ‘But Biden knows and Putin knows he’s boxing a corner on this. Price is shooting through the roof affecting the Americans at the pump. It is a big driver of inflation.

Waltz said, ‘There were over 100 Progressives in the Union State Room.’ He wouldn’t dare talk about another disappointment, unbelievably American energy.

Initially seen as a victory for the administration in ending the 20-year war, Afghanistan turned into a disaster for Biden when the Taliban quickly captured Kabul and forced American troops out of their time frame. and 13 died as a result. American service member.

The State Department was also unable to help get the allies out of Afghanistan, except for many who have harmed the US over the years as terrorist organizations increasingly overrun the country.

Biden was further lambasted after the return as the remains of soldiers were transferred home and the president was repeatedly seen checking his watch during the ceremony, bringing their flag-wrapped coffins back to American soil.

Congressman Boebert earned ‘boos’ from the chamber of the House during Biden’s remarks on Tuesday evening as he was talking about cancer-causing burn pits affecting military service members.

Biden believes that such potholes led to Beau’s early death at age 46.

Boebert earlier defended himself on Twitter late Tuesday, writing that ‘I can’t keep quiet when Biden says flag-wrapped coffin.’

The address, which lasted roughly an hour, was notably paused by both bipartisan applause as well as loud cheers from Boebert and his fellow GOP representative from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Green.

Psaki on Wednesday called Biden’s State of the Union address on Boebert and Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Green “much more about them” than the president’s agenda.

Senate Minority Whip John Thune, the number two Senate Republican behind leader Mitch McConnell, denounced the pair’s “antics” during a CBS Mornings interview a day after Biden’s speech.

‘I don’t think there’s a place for it. this is unfair. The State of the Union speech, whether you agree with the president or not, is an opportunity to show the American people the respect that office deserves,’ Thune said.

The South Dakota Republican was cryptic when asked whether his fellow GOP lawmakers would issue a public condemnation.

‘You know, normally the House would, you know, do – if any steps were to be taken, the leadership of the House would probably do that. But I think there will be a lot of condemnation from people, colleagues and what not, and just a recognition that these kinds of actions are inappropriate in this kind of setting,’ he said.

‘And I think anyone would agree.’

Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell called Boebert and Green an “disgrace” and called on House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy to condemn them.

‘The President was talking about his dead soldier son. you and [Greene] Tonight was a national disgrace. But even worse – because you’re irrelevant – Kevin McCarthy is the boss of it all. He won’t condemn you because he’s a huge coward,’ Swellwell wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

McCarthy has remained silent on the matter so far, although he did give a standing ovation to Biden at one point during his speech when he called for police funding for betting.

Asked about it on MSNBC Tuesday morning, Psaki dismissed Boebert’s protest.

“I have to tell you that during the uproar that I was watching on TV with my team, team members and colleagues, and we were all excited and excited,” the press secretary said on television on Wednesday morning. Interview.

‘And that was the moment the President was talking about his unity agenda, and talking about the priorities that we should all agree on.’

The president’s four-pronged unity agenda, which he laid out on Tuesday night, includes efforts to do more for veterans who fall ill after inhaling fumes from toxic burn pits that have been taken abroad. Commonly used by deployed soldiers for disposal of garbage.

“They come home, many of the fittest in the world and the best trained warriors in the world, are never the same,” Biden grieved before seeing the effects of his own personal experience.

‘Headache. Numbness. Dizziness. A cancer that would put them in a coffin wrapped in a flag. I know.’

At the same time Boebert shouted: ‘A cancer that put him in a coffin wrapped in a flag.’

‘You put them in. Thirteen of them!’ She shouted in reference to the 13 US service members killed during the security of Kabul airport in Afghanistan last year.

“There is no question that we should do more to help our country’s veterans who have been hurt by the effects of the burn pits,” Saki said on Wednesday morning. Of course, we need to do more to work together to cure cancer.’

‘And they were circling around that time and that moment. I think about how important these priorities are, and what the vast majority of people sitting in that chamber last night says about them far more than they can work together to solve the problems,’ the press secretary added.

Unlike other points in Biden’s speech, which earned bipartisan applause, Boebert’s outburst drew only boos from Democrats.

Both Boebert and Georgia Rep. Green turned their backs on Biden as he entered the House chamber for his State of the Union address.

At another point during the speech, when the president called for sweeping reform to solve the Southwest border crisis and the US immigration system, the firebrands used one of Donald Trump’s signature promises to ‘build the wall’ to conservatives. could be heard.
