House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tore into President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats in a speech Monday night over raising the debt limit.
McCarthy, ahead of the president’s State of the Union address, delivered the remarks in a hallway near the speaker’s balcony, a location that is used for major announcements.
“I speak to you as a father, a former small business owner, and a taxpayer. And like many of you, I worry about a future that feels less secure than it should,” McCarthy said. “A lot has changed in recent years. Our southern border was once secure. Now, the number of illegal immigrants who crossed our border in just two years easily exceeds the population of 25 states.”
