Republican South Dakota Sen. John Thune blasted Democrats over inflation, the border crisis, Afghanistan and Russian aggression in a searing speech on the Senate floor.
In addition to his comments on Biden, he said Democrats would earn a D for disaster. He argued 2021 was filled with one Democrat-led crisis after another.
He first focused on inflation. “When Democrats took office last January, inflation was well within an acceptable range or what’s known as the target inflation rate. And it might have stayed there had Democrats not decided they needed to pass a massive government spending spree under the guise of Covid relief.
“Mere weeks after Congress had already passed a major Covid bill. That’s right, in the December of 2020 Congress passed its fifth bipartisan Covid relief bill, a nearly $1 trillion piece of legislation that met essentially all current pressing Covid needs.
“But the ink was barely dry on the page before Democrats decided that they needed to take advantage of the Covid situation to pass another bill, this time a hyper-partisan $1.9 trillion piece of legislation packed with unnecessary government spending and payoffs to Democrat interest groups.”
The senator was just warming up, too. If you want to know the real reasons Democrats are to blame for 2021’s failure, this speech is the answer. Check it out now for the full report.
