Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) recently took the Senate floor to outline what he perceives as the Biden Administration’s series of “abject failures” over the past three years. From foreign policy missteps to domestic controversies, Schmitt expressed strong criticism. Let’s delve into the key points he raised during his remarks.
Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal
Schmitt began by condemning what he called a “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan,” pointing out its grave consequences, including the tragic deaths of 13 members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The senator accused the Biden Administration of targeting parents at school board meetings, suggesting that the administration floated the idea of deeming them domestic terrorists in an official memo.
Schmitt asserted that President Biden declared an outright war on domestic energy production, leading to policies that harmed the industry and contributed to rising gas prices.
Vaccine Mandates and Job Losses
The senator criticized the administration’s attempt to force tens of millions of Americans to get vaccinated or face job loss, characterizing it as an overreach.
Schmitt highlighted the administration’s alleged reckless spending, which he claimed led to historic inflation and soaring prices, adversely affecting the economy.
