Our border agents and communities are overwhelmed and @POTUS has just buried his head in the sand. 5⃣ The Afghanistan withdrawal was an abject failure and @POTUS bears the responsibility. Americans died. Americans were left in Afghanistan. He misled our country to justify his decisions and to downplay his failures. Period. 6⃣ Our voting system is working, but @JoeBiden wasted his first year complaining about "voting rights," a fake crisis far removed from reality. The Constitution entrusts states to run their elections. I trust North Dakota much more than DC bureaucrats. 7⃣ Where do we begin on the sorry state of our economy? Biden's policies have led to inflation and supply chain crises, which have been utterly devastating. In North Dakota, inflation has soared 7.5% in a year. The American people deserve better. 8⃣ @POTUS' decisions to kneecap American energy have real effects. He canceled Keystone XL, illegally halted lease sales, and pushed heavy-handed regulations then asked OPEC to bail him out. End result: we import more oil from Russia than we produce in Alaska. 9⃣ The COVID-19 pandemic rages on and we've seen nothing but total mismanagement and the infringement of personal liberties from the Biden Administration.”
