President Biden\u2019s State of the Union speech was trashed by prominent political pundits for its political nature, with some likening it to more of a campaign speech than an overview of the state of the country.<\/p>\n
\u2018Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory,\u2019 AEI Senior Fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush Marc Thiessen wrote on X during Biden\u2019s Thursday night speech.<\/p>\n
Biden criticized former President Donald Trump several times during his speech.<\/p>\n
\u2018This man should never be allowed to take the rostrum of the House and deliver a State of the Union address again,\u2019 Thiessen posted on X moments later.<\/p>\n
\u2018As someone who helped write several SOTUs and who reveres this important presidential institution, I\u2019m stunned by this address,\u2019 Thiessen said in another post. \u2018It\u2019s an utter disgrace.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Does anyone remember a State of the Union speech so nakedly partisan as this one?\u2019 Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u2018In which the President repeatedly attacks his predecessor and prospective rival? I can\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018This speech is nothing but a cheap and tawdry campaign speech,\u2019 conservative radio host and author Mark Levin posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u2018Biden is just off,\u2019 former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer posted on X. \u2018His tone, his speed of delivery, his loud punchy way of speaking, is really weird.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018This speech is odd.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Instead of giving the State of the Union, President Biden is giving a campaign speech,\u2019 Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u2018Biden lasted on foreign policy only briefly,\u2019\u00a0Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Brit Hume posted on X. \u2018Since then to this moment, all campaign stuff, read at high volume. For a man speaking of a great comeback, he doesn\u2019t seem very happy. He seems angry.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018After yelling through a speech full of hate, anger, revenge, and retribution, Joe Biden unironically ends his speech with: \u2018Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas, but you can\u2019t lead America with ancient ideas,\u2019 Nathan Brand, adviser to GOP Sen. Tim Scott, posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u2018All I hear when they say that is, \u2018the President hit a grand slam and rendered us incapable of mewing about his birthday again,\u201d White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We keep a specific t-shirt on-hand for these moments,\u2019 Bates added, along with a photo of a t-shirt that said, \u2018Uncle Sam doesn\u2019t care, snowflakes.\u2019<\/p>\n\n
