Top Republicans are slamming President Biden for presenting himself as a
moderate with a mandate for bipartisanship during the campaign, but
governing as a radical after entering office.
“Well, during the campaign, he made us all believe that Joe Biden would be
the moderate choice, that he really — that court-packing was a bonehead
idea. All of a sudden, we got a commission to change the structure of the
Supreme Court, making D.C. a state. I think that’s a very radical idea
that will change the makeup of the United States Senate,” Sen. Lindsey
Graham (R-SC) said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“AOC said his first 100 days exceeded her expectations. That’s all you
need to know,” Graham added, referring to progressive Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
He continued by giving Biden poor marks on foreign policy, including the
president’s handling of the crisis at the southern border? caused by
thousands of illegal immigrants arriving in the US.?
“The border is in chaos. The Iranians are off the mat. He’s opening up
negotiations with the Iranian regime that they haven’t done a damn to
change. Afghanistan is going to fall apart. Russia and China are pushing
us — already pushing him around,” Graham said.
“So I’m very worried. I think he’s been a very destabilizing president.
And economically, he’s throwing a wet blanket over the recovery, wanting
to raise taxes in a large amount and regulate America basically out of
business,” ?he said.?
House Republican leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy called the Biden
administration a “bait and switch.”
“If I look at the 100 days, it’s more like a bait and switch. The bait
was, he was going to govern as bipartisan. But the switch is, he’s
governed as a socialist,” McCarthy said on “Fox News Sunday.”
He took a shot at Biden’s infrastructure plan and said only a fraction of
the funds go to repairing roads and bridges while the remainder goes
toward Democratic initiatives.
“Republicans would be the first one that would work with him. But I think
the very first thing we would need to do, define what infrastructure is,
roads, bridges, airports, Broadcom. We would get this done. And he’s
trying to pick a number instead of first saying, what do we need to make
America competitive?”
Later in the interview Sunday, Graham predicted that there could be
bipartisan agreement on a scaled down infrastructure bill, but said he’s
adamant about not raising the corporate tax rate to pay for it.
“If you want some good news on the 25th anniversary of your show, there’s
probably an $800 billion and $900 billion infrastructure bill that we
could all agree on,” Graham said.
Republicans have offered a ?$586 billion infrastructure plan to counter
Biden’s $2 trillion package.
And while the president wants to increase the corporate tax rate to 28
percent from 21 percent to pay for it, the Republican plan doesn’t touch
that rate, preferring to tap into user fees.
“I’m not going to raise corporate taxes to 28 percent. At the end of the
day, I’m willing to not pay for some of the infrastructure spending
because I think it over time pays for itself. We’re not going to do a
couple trillion dollars, 85 percent of it has got nothing to do with
infrastructure,” Graham said, adding that if you hike taxes, “you’re going
to destroy jobs.”
Biden is expected to speak more about his infrastructure plan when he
addresses Congress on Wednesday.
