President Joe Biden wasted little time in his State of the Union Address, quickly going after Donald Trump.
Biden reminded Americans that while Ronald Reagan told Russia to “tear down this wall,” Donald Trump, he said, told Putin, “do whatever the hell you want.”
“It wasn’t a long ago when a Republican President named Ronald Reagan thundered, ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.’ Now, my predecessor, a former Republican president, tells Putin ‘do whatever the hell you want.’ That’s a quote. A former president actually said that, bowing down to a Russian leader. I think it’s outrageous, is dangerous and it’s unacceptable,” Biden said.
CNN’s Manu Raju observed, “Biden comes out swinging against Trump over Russia/NATO
— Attacks the overturning of Roe v Wade
— And raising Jan. 6 attack”
“Inside the room, Dems are enjoying this speech. And Rs very much aren’t,” Raju adds. “After one of his broadsides, MTG [Marjorie Taylor Greene] could be seen saying: ‘What is he talking about?'”
