House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is assessing President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office.
“Today officially marks 100 days since President Biden assumed office. Here’s his record so far: An unprecedented border crisis, Thousands of good-paying energy jobs destroyed, A tax-and-spend agenda that makes Bernie Sanders look like a conservative,” McCarthy tweeted on Thursday.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted a similar message following Biden’s address to Congress, “Biden’s speech was boring but radical.”
During his address, Biden touted the number of jobs created under his administration, “The economy created more than 1,300,000 new jobs in 100 days.”
He added, “More jobs in the first 100 days than any president on record.”
Biden also vowed his American Jobs Plan will create “millions of good-paying jobs, jobs Americans can raise a family on.”
When discussing taxes, Biden promised he would “not impose any tax increase on people making less than $400,000. But it’s time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans to just begin to pay their fair share. Just their fair share.”
Additionally, the president touched on immigration reform.
