WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) today spoke at a press conference drawing a stark contrast between commonsense Republican policies and crazy, radical Democrat policies.
Sen. Barrasso said:
“This election is going to be a clear choice between Republican, commonsense individuals and these crazy, radical Democrats who have taken their party so far to the left.
“So let’s take a look at first what Republicans have done. We have secured the border for the nation. We blocked a $4 trillion tax increase. And we’ve eliminated taxes on tips, taxes on Social Security, taxes on overtime.
“At the same time, these Democrat candidates have come out with a manifesto. And their manifesto calls for raising taxes on American families to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants. So, the Democrats want to put taxes back on servers, hair stylists on their tips. They want to put taxes back on firefighters and nurses on their overtime. They want to put taxes back on Social Security.
“When you take a look at a number of these candidates – the candidate in Minnesota says that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is evil. She wants to rip it apart.
“You go state by state. The candidate in Florida, she’s a card-carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America.
“In Kansas, the candidate for the United States Senate says it’s wrong for us to eat beef. And he goes so far as to say we should repent for having eaten meat because it’s a violation of his climate religion.
“In Texas, the candidate – the Democrat candidate – for Senate says he wants to put out a welcome mat for illegal immigrants to come into the country.
“In Michigan, the candidate there wants to take away our guns. And he goes further. He actually campaigns – his campaign partner is someone who says America deserved what happened to us with the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
“So, the Democrats have clearly laid out what they want to do. They want to open the borders, have voting rights for illegal immigrants. They want to open the prisons and put criminals back into our communities. They want to defund the police, defund the military. And some of our colleagues here in the Senate say that is the future of their party. That cannot be the future of the United States of America.
“So, this is the choice the voters are going to have to choose this fall. Is it going to be commonsense Republicans, crazy Democrats who really do seem like an anti-American hate group.”
