Twitter world is speaking and Democrat President Joe Biden’s address to Congress last night is facing intense backlash with many critics calling it extreme, divisive, and full of false statements. Biden talked about big government spending, gun control, his view of ‘Americas enemies’ and his vaccine rollout. Here are some reactions below:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a key GOP swing vote, says of Biden’s speech: “I was not overly inspired.” She also said that there was too much spending, and of pushing such massive proposals: “I think it makes it very difficult for it to be truly bipartisan.”

Biden: “we the people are the government”
Americans: “Wait. What? No. That’s not how this works!
We the people are protected by the Constitution FROM the government.

After this Biden speech that charts the course for Democrats, I’d be blown away if 2022 wasn’t a bloodbath for Democrats. This could be a historically high backlash.

Wow, No mention of 20,000-plus migrant kids and teens in custody.

Biden does sad and grief really well.
But he does not do hope/change/optimism well.
He's kinda depressing.

January 6 was worse than 9/11? https://t.co/8JsQ9dpOpA

The speech is divisive and radical, and the “America is back” line continues to be insulting to the 74 million Americans who believe in America and never thought she left.
