WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02), responded to President Biden's State of the Union address with a critical stance. Rosendale expressed his perspective on the event, highlighting both a personal connection and his overall impression of the speech.
Rosendale began by sharing his experience at the State of the Union address, emphasizing the presence of his friend Larry Mayer, a journalist from Billings, who played a significant role in capturing images of a Chinese spy balloon last year. Rosendale acknowledged this moment as a highlight of the evening.
However, Rosendale's overall assessment of President Biden's speech was less favorable. He criticized the content of the address, referring to it as filled with "expensive promises, giveaways by the Democrat party and the Biden administration, and higher taxes for what he would consider the rich and wealthy." Rosendale characterized the speech as a repetitive narrative that he viewed as akin to a "bedtime story" due to its reliance on what he perceived as unrealistic promises and fairytales.
Rosendale's response reflects a divergence in opinions regarding the State of the Union address, with his remarks showcasing a critical perspective on the content and themes presented by President Biden.
