President Joe Biden took to Twitter to share he vetoed a bill for the first time of his presidency.
“I just vetoed my first bill. This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like,” Biden tweeted.
He added, “Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.”
Lawmakers issued their criticism of Biden for vetoing the bill.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) tweeted, “Joe Biden choosing to safeguard E.S.G. as an investment priority rather than protecting your retirement from ruins. The Dems and GOP both agreed his policies are destroying American savings. Look what his policies has already done to banks who prefer ESG investments like SVB.”
Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) called it a “bold-faced lie,” adding, “You vetoed this because your far-left base told you to. Investment plans should only be focused on maximizing retirement benefits, not woke & broke ESG standards that jeopardize returns.”
Greene added her thoughts, saying, “No one has put our retirement at risk more than you, Joe. American families can’t count on checks from China to pay their rent and groceries like your family does.”
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) issued a lengthier statement, arguing the Biden administration “continues to prioritize their radical policy agenda over the economic, energy and national security needs of our country, and it is absolutely infuriating.”
