Criticized Trump by mentioning “predecessor” several times
After mentioning the Capitol riot, “Rebels are not patriots.”
Trump’s responsibility for rolling back women’s abortion rights highlighted
U.S. President Joe Biden poured out criticism of former President Donald Trump, who was confirmed as his presidential opponent, in his State of the Union address on the 7th (local time).
In his State of the Union address to the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives held at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on this day, President Biden said, “My predecessor, the former president, tells Putin (Russian president) to do whatever he wants,” and “The former president said that he actually bows to the Russian leader.” will be. He thinks it’s absurd. “He is dangerous and unacceptable,” he said.
It is aimed at former President Trump’s recent remarks calling for an increase in defense spending among North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies.
President Biden emphasized, “The United States is a founding member of the NATO military alliance,” and “Today, we have made NATO stronger than ever.”
President Biden also sniped at former President Trump, mentioning the 2021 Congressional riot and the ruling that rolled back women’s right to abortion.
Referring to the Capitol riot incident that took place on January 6, 2021, by former President Trump’s hard-core supporters to block the congressional confirmation of President Biden, he said, “The insurrectionists who try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power are not patriots.”
“Let’s be honest, threats to democracy must be prevented,” he said. “My predecessor and some here are trying to bury the truth about January 6th, but I will not do that.”
Regarding women’s reproductive rights, President Biden also said, “My predecessor was determined to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling (which recognized women’s right to abortion). “Look at the chaos it has created,” he said, raising his voice.
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision in 2022, which is interpreted as a result of the Trump administration’s appointment of three conservative justices, deepening the Supreme Court’s conservative tendencies.
President Biden pointed out the movement of some Republican lawmakers to push for a complete ban on abortion and said, “Women are not without voting rights or political power. “I promise to restore Roe v. Wade to the law of the land,” he pledged.
