Minutes after President Joe Biden wrapped up his annual State of the Union address, Republicans offered a rebuttal to his optimistic outlook on the future of America under his watch, calling him “out of touch” and accusing him of endangering lives with his immigration policies.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., painted a different picture on the State of the Union than what the president delivered Thursday night, saying the country is in a state of decline and the land of opportunity it is known to be is slipping away.

“We're all worried about the future of our nation. The country we know and love seems to be slipping away and it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities and less freedoms than we did,” Britt said.

Sitting in her kitchen, Britt said that Americans are sitting around tables like the one she is at having to make hard decisions to scrape by due to Biden’s economic policies that she blamed for fueling inflation and the deficit.

“The true, unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better,” she said.

She also hammered Biden on his immigration policies, which she said fueled the crisis at the border and resulted in preventable deaths, including the murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student who was allegedly killed while going out for a jog on the University of Georgia’s campus by a person in the country illegally.

Republicans have hoped to leverage immigration and the border as a prime attack against Biden and Democrats in the upcoming November elections. Voters have increasingly said it is the top issue for them when making a decision on who they will vote for.

“Enough is enough. Innocent Americans are dying and you only have yourself to blame. Fulfill your oath of office, reverse your policies, end this crisis and stop the suffering,” Britt said.

Britt also questioned Biden’s competency, a sensitive issue for the president as he gears up for a grueling reelection campaign against former President Donald Trump. At 81, Biden is the oldest president in American history, a record that raises questions from voters across the aisle. A special counsel report that cleared the president of facing criminal charges over his handling of classified documents highlighted the issue by calling his memory into question.

Republicans have frequently sought to paint Biden as an elderly, confused man who isn’t fit to be president, while Biden has tried to convince voters that his age is an asset that comes with experience and wisdom.

“Right now, our commander-in-chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader," she said.
