‘Country In Crisis’: Kevin McCarthy Torches Biden, Says He Does Nothing Right

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy claimed President Biden’s legislative decisions put the “country in a crisis” and he should have done “nothing,” according to Fox News.

McCarthy held a news conference Thursday during which he and his GOP colleagues discussed increases in crime, inflation and the border crisis, Fox News reported.

“We have a country in crisis…Every time Americans go to the checkout at the grocery store or gas station, they’re paying more. Every time they turn on the local or national news, they are seeing crime continue to surge.” – @GOPLeader pic.twitter.com/IzCATOgx1r

McCarthy was asked if Biden had done anything right so far. “I haven’t found very many things that they have done right, no,” he said in response, according to Fox News. “If the president asked my advice, had he done nothing since he took office, optimism would be up 20%, not down.” (RELATED: Biden’s Approval Rating Drops Below 50%)

McCarthy referenced a new poll showing that optimism about the direction of the country among Americans had decreased by about 20 percent since late April. Biden’s approval rating plunged due to his response to crime, gun violence, and the border crisis, Fox News reported.

McCarthy claimed that Biden would be better off if he had “done nothing.””If the president asked my advice, had he done nothing since he took office, optimism would be up 20%, not down.”

Instead, he enacted executive orders that McCarthy said worsened the border crisis and made the U.S. less energy independent, Fox News reported.

A Rasmussen poll released Wednesday shows that 52% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job as president. This is close to his lowest rating since taking office.
