Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) criticized President Biden's recent State of the Union address, stating, "This President is putting America last." Carter expressed disappointment in the address, highlighting key areas where he felt the President fell short.

Carter emphasized the importance of border security, the budget, and national security strategy, stating, "Unfortunately, he missed the mark on each of these points, choosing party politics over the needs of the American people." He criticized Biden for what he perceived as a focus on party politics rather than addressing the concerns of the American people.

The congressman went on to criticize Biden's policies, stating, "At every turn, this President is putting America last." Carter pointed to issues such as the impact on the oil and gas industry, rising grocery store prices, job losses, restrictions on life-saving cures, and concerns about border security and public safety in American cities.

Carter also accused President Biden of weakening border security, stating, "Here we have a president who has taken 64 documented actions to weaken our border security." He further criticized Biden for not taking decisive action to address border security concerns.

In conclusion, Carter stated, "Under President Biden, we are less free, less safe, and less likely to experience economic freedom." He concluded by highlighting his concerns about the state of the union and the state of the border, stating, "Mr. President, the state of our union, like the state of our border, is weak."
