Texas Republicans and Democrats seemed to watching different speeches.
describing President Joe Biden’s speech as either an upbeat celebration of American persistence in the face of daunting challenges or a disconnected-from-reality attempt to paper over his many failures.Republicans said the speech fell flat and was not promising for a potential Biden re-election effort.
Castro said Biden spoke to how the country has bounced back from the pandemic with the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years and outlined the path ahead on issues such as overhauling the country’s immigration system.Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, walked out clutching two pages of hand-written notes with the phrase “snake oil salesman” scrawled across the top.
Fallon rejected Biden’s assertion that some Republicans are pushing to cut Medicare and Social Security, and he attributed the low unemployment rate to the fact that many Americans have given up looking for work.Democrats embraced what they saw as a positive message.
