Appearing on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria” on Monday, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said that given what’s not included in the bill, President Joe Biden will discuss it with the general public in Congress later this week. He raised the possibility of preventing him from giving a State of the Union address. speech.
Ernst supported the idea of Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) that the president would not be invited due to the lack of a national security strategy or next year’s budget.
“Do you think the president will raise it?” [Laken Riley] At the State of the Union address? ” FBN host Maria Bartiromo asked. “I mean, can he actually do an entire State of the Union address and not mention that Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal alien? He’s going to deliver the SOTU to the senators Thursday. You and Buddy I know that Congressman Carter has introduced a bill that would prevent him from being invited to address Congress. We would borrow Biden’s speech to Congress until he submits his national security strategy and budget request to Congress. How is it possible that we still don’t have a national security strategy?”
“Oh, that’s right. I would also like to thank Congressman Buddy Carter,” Ernst replied. “I know you’ve put him on before. It’s unbelievable that we don’t have a national security strategy from the president and we don’t have a budget for next year. Going back to Laken Riley, do you think he’ll bring this up in his State of the Union address? Absolutely not. Why is he a failure of the presidency? Are we going to focus on the border first and the Americans dying at the hands of illegal immigrants and fentanyl?”
