WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the below statement following Biden’s address to the nation this evening:
“The Republican Party will always stand with Israel, our nation’s strongest ally in the Middle East. Biden’s weakness and appeasement of our enemies has tarnished America’s standing on the world stage. Despite an ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, Biden refuses to refreeze the $6 billion he unlocked for Iran or personally condemn the antisemitic, vile rhetoric from members of his own Party. Because of Joe Biden, the world and our citizens are less safe.”
As put by Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Unfortunately for the American people, it’s an infamous tradition Biden has carried into his presidency:
- In the Middle East – Biden’s policies of appeasement have enriched the rogue Iranian regime to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. Biden has failed to vigorously enforce congressionally enacted sanctions while opening up new lines of cash for Iran to fund terror. Now, Israel is under attack from Iran-backed terrorist proxies.
- In Europe – Biden lifted sanctions on Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a move that he was warned was a “calamitous foreign policy disaster.” Not only that, he undermined American energy production, weakening our influence and empowering malign producers of energy like Russia.
- In Afghanistan – In the words of CBS News, “Biden's decision to pull the U.S. out of Afghanistan led to the collapse of its government, its military, the death of 13 Americans, and it left tens of thousands of Afghans hoping to escape.”
- In Asia – Biden continues to ignore a growing number of aggressive provocations from the Chinese Communist Party. He gave the CCP a pass on their COVID obstruction, let their spy balloon gather intelligence from sensitive military sites, promoted the use of the CCP spyware app TikTok, and is standing idly by as China reportedly sets up a spy base in Cuba.
- In North America – Cartels are exploiting Biden’s open borders agenda to poison tens of thousands of Americans with deadly fentanyl, while experts warn of the ever-growing terror threat as 1.6 million “gotaways” have escaped into the country on Biden’s watch.
