Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, released a new video on Monday attacking President Joe Biden and Democrats for numerous problems facing the country.

“Joe Biden and the Democrats seem hell-bent on destroying this country,” Barrasso said in a statement. “They created and ignored a crisis at the Southern Border and a crisis of high prices. They’re bowing to Communist China – not holding an adversary accountable. Joe Biden and Democrats are undermining America’s strength. Families want the nation to change direction. Senate Republicans have solutions to get America back on track.”

The ad calls out everything from the dire condition on the U.S. southern border to increasing aggression from communist China in response to weakness from the Biden administration.

The video, narrated by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), vice chair of the Senate Republican Conference, also promotes the vision that Senate Republicans have to make life more affordable by “spending less, reducing the stranglehold of Washington bureaucrats, and unleashing American energy.”

TRANSCRIPT:

SEN. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO (R-WV): The country is headed in the wrong direction. Senate Republicans have solutions to get America back on track.

We’re ready to secure the border by restarting wall construction and ending the incentives that feed the crisis. We must protect our communities from the deadly flow of drugs and human trafficking.

As Biden and Democrats bow to aggression from Communist China, Senate Republicans are ready to strengthen America and hold China accountable. We must control our supply chain, stop China from spying and stealing, and ban China from purchasing American farmland.

And with Americans struggling to afford Biden’s economy, Senate Republicans are committed to making life more affordable for every American. That means spending less, reducing the stranglehold of Washington bureaucrats, and unleashing American energy.

Join Senate Republicans as we work to get America back on track.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis slammed a partisan reporter during an interview that aired on Monday over remarks that she made about the Democratic Party’s stance on abortion.

When asked by NBC News reporter Dasha Burns if he would veto any federal bill that would institute a nationwide ban on abortion, DeSantis said that he would be a pro-life president and would support pro-life policies.

“I would not allow what a lot of the Left wants to do, which is to override pro-life protections throughout the country all the way up really until the moment of birth in some instances, which I think is infanticide,” DeSantis said.

Burns quickly pushed back while looking down at her notes. “I’ve gotta push back on you on that,” Burns interrupted, “because that’s a misrepresentation of what’s happening. I mean, that 1.3% of abortions happen at 21 weeks [of pregnancy] or higher.”

“There’s no evidence of Democrats pushing for abortions up until—” she continued.

“But their view is is that all the way up until that, there should not be any legal protections,” DeSantis noted.

“There’s no indication of Democrats pushing for that,” Burns claimed.

DeSantis pushed back noting areas of the country where Democrats have pursued exactly that agenda to which Burns again defended the Democratic Party claiming that it was not true.

“The Left in this country has moved on from the position that said, ‘you know what, we do want to discourage abortion, it’s not something that’s a good thing,’ to now viewing it more as positive good for society and I think most Americans, regardless of how they feel on legal protections, I don’t think most Americans think it’s a positive good for society.”

“It’s obviously a tragic circumstance,” he added.

“Yeah, they have”: @RonDeSantis pushes back on reporter @DashaBurns lying about Democrats' support for unrestricted abortion, names states like California that actually allow it.
