Rep. Ciscomani gives Spanish-language rebuttal to State of the Union
Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., delivered the Spanish-language Republican rebuttal to Biden's State of the Union speech.
Ciscomani, a freshman lawmaker who immigrated to the U.S. with his family as a child, focused his remarks on the need to preserve the "American Dream" and for the Republican House majority to offer "a different direction" to address problems facing the nation.
"The American dream feels more unattainable and, sadly, President Biden fails to show leadership and present any viable solution," Ciscomani said. "He hasn't had any answers and clearly still doesn't. As House Republicans, we have already begun to offer a different direction to address the most significant issues impacting American families."
Under House Speaker McCarthy, Ciscomani said Republicans need to protect Social Security and Medicare, fight inflation, increase border security, restore energy independence, reduce crime and more.
"Let's put aside our differences and focus on results to keep this dream alive for future generations," Ciscomani said in closing. "The state of our union is strong because our people are strong. We can overcome any obstacle. Our best days lie ahead."
