Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told Newsmax Wednesday that President Joe Biden doesn't "understand the negative impact" his economic policies are having on average Americans.
Biden traveled to Milwaukee Wednesday, where he pitched voters on his economic agenda and touted his achievements on job growth. He also took aim at the GOP front-runner, former President Donald Trump, over his recent comments on immigrants.
"We always believe diversity is our strength as a nation. I don't believe as ... the former president said again yesterday, that immigrants are polluting our blood," Biden raid reported the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The economy in our nation is stronger when we're tapping into the full range of talents in this nation.”
Steil said on "Newsline" ahead of Biden's trip to the state, "The president's coming to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to tell people not to believe what their own eyes are showing them."
The congressman said that if the president "really wanted to understand the negative impact Bidenomics is having on this country, you should go to the grocery store and talk to customers who are paying 20% more for groceries, 17% more for everything since President Biden took office."
He continued, "Families are struggling to afford the things that they need, directly related to the inflation that has been rocked by the Biden policies from Day 1 when he came in."
Steil went on to criticize Biden for "killing the XL pipeline, making a war on domestic energy production, passing massive spending bills, paying people not to work after the pandemic, and then he can't figure out why inflation is clobbering Americans. He should go and actually talk to regular Americans, and ... understand the pain that his administration is causing."
