Biden criticized after giving ‘Biden’s word’ that America’s future looks great: ‘We screwed up’

President Biden came under fire on social media Sunday after frequently using a dictum he uses when expressing his optimism about the future of the United States.

Biden, who frequently used the phrase “my word as Biden” before and after promising his audience and voters to give it credibility, said he “had never been more optimistic” about the United States, prompting Twitter users to ridicule the veracity of his comments and point out to numerous crises during his reign.

Republican National Committee Deputy Director of Public Affairs Nathan Brand and Director of Rapid Response Tommy Pigott both targeted Biden for his tweet, noting the numerous scandals that occurred in front of Biden.

“The border is open, real wages have fallen, the cost of energy is outrageous, the Taliban control Afghanistan, and the cartels are making billions smuggling fentanyl,” Pigott tweeted. “However, there are grounds for ‘optimism’ — we have [House GOP] the majority who are working to bring Biden to justice.”

“The more this bill is analyzed by impartial experts, the more we see that the Democrats are trying to sell goods to the American people,” Mike Crapo, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, of Idaho, said in a statement last year. “Unbiased analysts confirm that this bill raises taxes for the middle class and doesn’t result in much deficit reduction when the gimmicks are removed and the full cost is taken into account.”
