Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell attacked President Joe Biden on Thursday, after Biden had criticized the Supreme Court for its decision to reverse Roe. Wade.
Biden answered questions in Madrid on Thursday. He called Roe v. Wade’s overturning decision “destabilizing” and said that attacking the Supreme Court’s position on the international stage was “below dignity of President .”
“Attacking an American institution such as the Supreme Court off the global stage is below dignity of President. Beyond this, President Biden’s attack on the Court is unmerited. Biden is upset at the Court’s statement that people will be able to vote on the policy of abortion. It does not undermine democracy, it just affirms it. By contrast, it is behavior like the President’s that undermines equal justice and the rule of law,” McConnell said in the statement.

“The President launched this inappropriate attack when he was asked about whether or not we are on the right track as a country. He needs to look at himself in the mirror. It is not responsible for high gas prices or crime on the streets, as well as chaos at the borders. He is. He said that no amount of global blame-shifting will alter this.
