WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tonight, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued the following statement in response to President Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress:
“While I’ve made it clear that I’m willing to seek common ground with President Biden on a number of critical issues, bipartisanship is a two-way street. President Biden talks a lot about finding consensus, including during tonight’s speech, but his actions have failed to match his rhetoric. He has rejected bipartisanship and embraced left-wing policies to tax, spend, and regulate our country into oblivion. Some of the liberal proposals he mentioned tonight are even a bridge too far for some of my Democratic colleagues. I hope President Biden stops listening to his advisors, who have convinced him to pursue a far-left agenda, and instead start working with Republicans like myself who want to solve the many pressing challenges we face, from ending the humanitarian and security crisis at the Southern border to ensuring our nation fully recovers from the damage caused by the pandemic.”
