President Joe Biden faced widespread backlash to his Thursday night State of the Union speech as non-Democrats panned it as the “most partisan” address they’ve ever seen from a president.
Biden repeatedly mocked and taunted Republicans throughout the night as he tried to paint a rosy picture of his first term in office.
The 81-year-old president, who is trailing former President Donald Trump in the polls, yelled throughout his speech and appeared to talk faster than he normally does.
“If this is Joe Biden making a case that he is a sane and rational person in charge of a moderate policy agenda, he’s…not doing it,” said The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro.
“Biden is just off,” said former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. “His tone, his speed of delivery, his loud punchy way of speaking, is really weird. This speech is odd.”
Donald Trump Jr. added, “If you actually believe that the State of the Union is strong and getting stronger under Joe Biden, then you’re probably spending too much time smoking crack with Hunter Biden!”
The Border Patrol Union posted on X: “The most arrogant, self-absorbed, clueless and angry loser ever. Never held a real job. Lifetime political hack. Joe Biden is the epitome of what so many Americans despise about politicians.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said on his “Verdict” podcast that out of the 12 State of the Union speeches he’s watched, “This was by far, the worst I’ve ever seen.”
“So, this was a campaign speech. But it was an exceptionally bad campaign speech,” Cruz said. “So, Biden was angry. He was bitter. He was screaming. He was extreme. And he was completely out of touch. The entire speech reminded me of a grumpy old man standing on his front porch screaming at the kids get off my front lawn.”
The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles, who was a guest on Cruz’s podcast, called the speech “very odd” because Biden “was yelling and slurring his words” and his cadence was off the whole night.
