Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticizes President Biden’s day one actions undoing many of the accomplishment President Trump’s Administration accomplished for the American people, always putting Americans first. McConnell’s words were true but empty as his actions do not seem to represent Americans, but rather globalists.
McConnell discusses putting America back into the unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Agreement from which President Trump had withdrawn the U.S. He also discussed the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline.
“The president re-entered the failed Paris climate agreement—a terrible bargain that would set us up to self-inflict major economic pain on working American families with no assurance that China or Russia would honor their commitments. In fact, the U.S. has already been reducing carbon emissions while China and other nations in the agreement have kept increasing theirs. Rejoining will just set us up to kill American jobs while our competitors continue to roar on by,” McConnell said on the Senate floor in Washington.
The President also unilaterally cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline. The day-one priority was to kill thousands of American jobs including union jobs, disappoint our strong ally Canada, and reverse some of our progress toward energy security. This is a project that the liberal Canadian government and Prime Minister Trudeau support. An investment in North American energy. Even the Obama State Department concluded it would not harm the climate. But because canceling a pipeline project just feels like the green thing to do, the new administration killed these jobs.”
McConnell had only criticism for Biden’s proposal for amnesty for illegal immigrants and for the firing of the National Labor Relations Board’s independent general counsel all of which have an impact on American workers and American jobs.
“This was not the day one that American workers deserved,” he said, adding: “It’s still early. There is plenty of time for President Biden to remember that he does not owe his election to the far left. The president can and should refocus his administration on creating good-paying American jobs, not sacrificing our people’s livelihoods to liberal symbolism. Senate Republicans will be ready, willing, and eager to help make that happen.”
