President Joe Biden’s #SOTU speech surprised Former GOP Chair Michael Steele. The President owned the Republicans as he extracted a verbal pledge from the GOP not to cut #SocialSecurity and #Medicare.
Michael Steele: Biden owned the Republicans at SOTU
Michael Steele was blunt. His critique of the Biden speech was on point.
“Republicans for a long time have been talking about owning the libs,” Michael Steele said. “They got owned tonight by Joe Biden. He stood his ground. He laid out his agenda. He was very clear. He took the hecklers, and he made America see what he’s been trying to convey in a way that they probably had not seen or heard before.”
Steele then pointed out the repercussions of the speech.
“And I thought for him; it was a very good night,” Steele continued. “I was watching and reading conservatives, and certainly MAGA folks on my Twitter feed just lose their mind over everything. It is that the complete package? Just the repartee back and forth. The clarity of laying out what he did. I mean, the moment on Social Security is going to be in a loop.”
Michael then honed in on Social Security.
“Because everyone in the country knows, at least those who follow Social Security policy, that means you’re elderly and so forth,” Steele said. “That Republicans had a plan that they ran on in 2022 to abolish, to sunset all federal programs, which, guess what? It included Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. And that was Rick Scott, Senator Rick Scott’s plan that the party signed on to.”
Biden received high marks from Steele and from just about every talking head in the mainstream media.
