On Kamala Harris And Tim Walz, The Most Radical Democrat Ticket In History:
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are the most radical Democrat ticket in our nation's history. Look at their record. Look at the record of Kamala Harris. She is Joe Biden's open border czar. She owns this catastrophic failure of wide open borders prioritizing illegals and criminals over law-abiding Americans. People have died in this country, Mark, because of Kamala Harris's role as Joe Biden's open border czar. If you look at both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, they support defunding the police. We saw that when Tim Walz served as governor in Minnesota, and we've seen that when Kamala Harris actually raised money to bail out criminals and has stood for defunding the police. On top of that, this inflation crisis across our country, the deciding vote in the US Senate was Kamala Harris while she was vice president for Joe Biden's Inflation Expansion Act. It's the most radical, most Socialist Democrat ticket, and that's why it's so incredibly important that all Americans unify and elect President Donald Trump, who will save this country. “
On President Trump Creating The Strongest Economy Versus Kamala Harris’ Economic Failures:
“Well, you're exactly right, Mark. And Americans have to ask themselves, were they better off four years ago? The answer was absolutely yes. If you look at the economic strength under President Trump, it was the strongest economy in modern history. You saw wage growth, you saw the highest number of individuals working, and yet we see unemployment ticking up under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And importantly, the single biggest economic stress and challenge right now is inflation, and it's a direct result of the trillions of dollars that was spent under Joe Biden, working with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer with Kamala Harris casting that deciding vote for the Inflation Expansion Act. No matter where you go in the country, Mark, whether it's my district in Upstate New York, whether it's these key swing districts, key swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia as well, people are concerned about inflation. They're struggling to buy groceries. They're struggling to make ends meet. They see utilities skyrocketing. You want to talk about Kamala Harris's economic policies. It's trillions of dollars of tax increases on top of the trillions of dollars of tax increases that were included in Kamala Harris' Inflation Expansion Act. She wants to ban fracking across this country, that would devastate hardworking families in Pennsylvania and across this country and only cause a skyrocketing of energy costs. So the choice is very clear. You saw an economic boom under President Trump, and we've seen an economic bust and a crisis under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.”
On Kamala Harris Owning The Failures Of The Biden-Harris Administration:
"One trip to the grocery store disproves that as families struggle to balance their budget on a weekly and monthly basis, people know, no matter what the mainstream media says, no matter what the propaganda from Washington, DC, New York City, leftist socialists are trying to convince the American people that they're doing well economically, people are smart. Voters across this country are smart, and they know that they've seen this inflation cut in it's a wage cut to every worker across this country, because our dollar goes less and less when you go to the grocery store, I am shocked. You look at the price of diapers, you look at the lack of access to baby formula. This has hurt working women in this country, young families in this country, Mark and to say that Kamala Harris doesn't own it. She owns it, lock, stock and barrel. As I said, she was the deciding vote for the Inflation Expansion Act, which caused the highest rate of inflation in my lifetime. She was the last person in the room when Joe Biden made the decision for the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that led directly to the loss of 13 soldiers, and we now have 13 Gold Star families who haven't even been mentioned by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. She is the open border czar that Joe Biden designated. She owns this wide open border. All of these issues are top of the mind for voters, and as she tries to run away from her record. It is important that we hold our leaders accountable for their failures. She gets an F on all of these issues. That's why she's unfit to serve as the next commander in chief and President United States."
On Kamala Harris Forcing Americans To Foot The Bill For Her Socialist Policy Positions :
“Well, again, this is how socialist Kamala Harris is. This is the most radical ticket, as you pointed out, Mark, and it's about putting Americans last. She is prioritizing illegal immigrants. She is prioritizing criminals. And ultimately, it's hardworking Americans that will foot the bill. That will be trillions of dollars of tax increases. You pointed out an important issue, and that is protecting and preserving Medicare for our seniors. It's Kamala Harris and Joe Biden that raided Medicare to pay for their green new scam deal in the Inflation Expansion Act. It's Kamala Harris who wants to cancel and take away your private health care insurance to put everyone on government insurance that will only increase healthcare costs. These are very serious issues for families who already are struggling to make ends meet. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to cancel your health insurance. It is a vote to move to socialized medicine. It is a vote for trillions of dollars of tax increases. It is a vote for trillions of dollars going to illegal immigrants rather than American citizens. And as voters learn more about her positions, it is important that they know that that is what they're voting for. That is the choice this November, and that's why it's so important. You look at President Trump, he prioritizes hard, working American families. He is advocating for tax reductions, no tax on tips. That was his proposal that he will get done. He has a record of protecting and securing the border. He will deliver that again, and he will deliver economic strength for families and for seniors.”
On Kamala Harris Killing The American Dream For Hardworking Americans With Failed Economic Policies:
“It is exactly what's going on that is today's Democrat Party, Mark, its to crush hardworking Americans. If you look at inflation, who that impacts the most, it impacts every American, but it hurts those in the low and middle income classes, and those are the hardest working people in this country. They're working to make ends meet, where the trip to the grocery store when you see a significant increase of price of bread, price of eggs, just price of groceries, meat that is cutting away into their hard earned wages as they're working to achieve their American dream, to give their kids a better opportunity. And yet, Kamala Harris wants to do trillions of dollars of new taxes. Kamala Harris thinks that she can make better decisions about how to spend money through the government, a bloated, you know, trillion dollar increases in government spending, rather than allowing the American people to make those decisions for themselves and their families. Look at this massive redistribution of wealth. They're trying to pursue with the bailout of student loans. There's no such thing as a free tuition in this country. The people that are footing that bill are constituents in my district who did not take out those loans went into the workforce, are working so hard every single day, in the trades often, and yet they're footing the bill for these radicals hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans, which is only costing a skyrocketing of tuition for families who are already working. And what about those families who worked hard to repay their loans? What about those graduates who worked hard to repay the loans. So, it's a massive redistribution of wealth. It is socialism. That is why they're the most radical ticket, ever in our nation's history.”
