Biden Recap: Biden defends record and addresses critics; GOP responded with Senator Katie Britt

President Joe Biden delivered a defiant argument for a second term in his State of the Union speech Thursday night, lacing into GOP front-runner Donald Trump for espousing “resentment, revenge and retribution" and for jeopardizing freedom at home and abroad.

Reveling in the political moment, Biden fired multiple broadsides at “my predecessor” without ever mentioning Trump by name — 13 times in all — raising his voice repeatedly as he worked to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with his all-but-certain November rival.

I'm a president for All Americans, then he calls Republicans a threat to democracy! So if I vote based on my values as a independent and those values align with Republican policies I'm a threat now?

[lemontadams]

I’ve never seen an angrier speech… It was like a mean old man saying get off of my grass.

But majority of his speech sounded like he was pushing SOCIALISM.

[patriciaziesmer]

I bet these people sitting next to mtg are embarrassed

[prowest]

All this crap he was saying, 3 years after he's been president it should have been done the first month, but the only thing he did, destroy the economy and raise prices on every little thing that we same old song and dance

Im just glad that every morning i wake up, we are one day closer to having a new President.

Typical democrat speech. Lies and divisive statements with no substance. All anyone has to do is walk outside and take a look around. Funny how that tax cut meant inly for millionaires saved me a bunch of taxes.

Can you imagine the F-bombs if MTG got the Republican response! Would have been wild.

[lujanpride]

Not that I’m going to vote for Biden or Trump but That Katie Britt lady had the audacity to comment on Biden being a permanent politician while giving her response the way she did. THAT was the most rehearsed, bad acting I’ve ever seen

[bobwilson-ih]

Speaker Moses Mike should have kicked the ToiletMouth out of SOTU for violating the Congressional decorum. No campaign clothes!

[karenhope]

Lolo...words only liar...actions matter only...blah blah blah

[raettahunter]

[Buttsac]

[elizaortega]

Just saying are you better off today than 3 years ago
The rich will always be rich its the middle class that is struggling

[IcarusLhooq-bcuq]

He needs to get much much louder for real .

[musicsavage]

MSM news has become such a disappointment from what it was historically. "... at times resembled a campaign speech"? The entire address was a glorified campaign speech, what we really need to hear on these news reports is in-depth critical analysis of his claims with fact checking, like what they do to Trump every time he says anything

And Putin replied: I love you, Biden. And your SonOB
