A Republican lawmaker from Illinois has said flatly that she won’t make the trip to the U.S. Capitol Building Tuesday evening to hear President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address because she doesn’t believe he’s going to use it to present an honest picture of his term or the country.
“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up President Trump’s State of the Union Address, which celebrated a secure border, support for our military, and American energy independence,” Rep. Mary Miller stated. “Joe Biden’s presidency has been filled with lie after lie, especially lies about the border being secure, inflation being temporary, and the DOJ targeting parents for attending school board meetings.
“I will not be attending Biden’s State of the Union to listen to him lie about the damage he has caused to our country while the left-wing media and members of Congress applaud his lies,” she added.
She went on to cite his possession of classified documents after he left the vice presidency, his family’s Chinese business dealings, and continued high gas prices.
“I will be giving my guest ticket to Air Force Colonel (Ret) Mark A. Hurley of Sherman, Illinois, who retired from the military because of Biden’s unjust COVID vaccine mandate,” she promised. “Biden used the COVID vaccine mandate as a political purge to force the best and the brightest out of our military, and Biden has still failed to provide accountability for his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan more than two years ago.”
Hurley added: “It’s an honor to be able to personally thank Congresswoman Miller and Speaker McCarthy for their efforts to end the COVID vaccine requirement for military members. These legislative leaders continued the battle we did not have time to complete through our normal chain of command. We are truly grateful for the thousands of military careers they have saved.”
Miller said of Biden over the weekend, “We are on a dangerous path. We’ve known for a long time that we have been allowing ourselves to be too economically dependent on Communist China. Joe Biden is just focusing on Americans as being domestic terrorists instead of focusing on our true adversaries. I can’t even imagine what will happen if we lose our self-sufficiency in farming, and we need to take this threat very seriously.”
Miller raises cattle and grows grain with her husband. Last year, she introduced a bill titled “National Security Moratorium on Foreign Purchases of U.S. Land” to prevent Beijing and other foreign countries from buying American farmland and other property.
“We have an inherent responsibility to put our own citizens first, and the National Security Moratorium on Foreign Purchases of U.S. Land does just that,” Miller said. “In recent years, we have seen foreign investors flood the market, increasing home prices for Americans. This is especially an issue in Rural America where the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to buy land in our country, with an emphasis on farmland, to gain strategic leverage over the United States.”
Our adversaries continue to rob our country of wealth and prosperity under Joe Biden’s weak leadership.
America is on a dangerous path of losing our self-sufficiency in farming, and we must take the threat of China’s provocation seriously! https://t.co/ZcjRhvUNuK
