Republicans accuse Biden of failing to live up to promise of unity as president pushes big agenda

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Even before President Biden delivered his first joint address to Congress touting what he has accomplished during the first 100 days of his administration, Republicans on Capitol Hill were prepared to tell a different story: how a new president betrayed his campaign promises about how he would govern.

The centerpiece of the GOP effort to rebut Biden’s speech came minutes after Biden finished his muscular defense of government’s role in American life, declaring his intent to “prove democracy still works.”

It was delivered by Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican senator, who spoke to a national television audience about his personal story of escaping poverty and his fervent belief in the power of free enterprise.

Scott slammed Democrats for not moving more swiftly to reopen schools amid the coronavirus pandemic, praised former president Donald Trump’s efforts to develop a vaccine, declaring that Biden “inherited a tide that had already turned,” criticized their approach to race relations as fighting “discrimination with different discrimination,” and defended the GOP’s effort to restrict voting in numerous states after Biden’s victory.

5. "failing to live up to promise of unity"

Means they're not happy they're not being kowtowed to anymore. We tried that, rethugs, but you don't play well with others.

McConnell was certainly a sour-faced old turtle tonight. And Cruz was caught napping on national TV--that was priceless!

Joe gave a marvelous speech, and I clapped along with the TV. He makes me so proud!
