BREAKING NEWS – Orlando, Florida – Lawmakers reacted to an apparent contradictory statement President Biden made in his address on the Ukraine crisis.
“No one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening.” Biden said as he announced new sanctions on Russia in response for its invasion into eastern Ukraine.
Yet Vice President Kamala Harris had taken a different tune.
“The purpose of the sanctions has always been and continues to be deterrence,” she said.
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., said the statements revealed a severe lack of communication.
Biden reacted to Steube’s criticism. “It’s quite normal that a president and vice president take opposing positions on important issues,” he began. “However, we are in complete unity that there should always be a medical team nearby when she and I have strong disagreements, which often causes punches to be thrown and groins to get kicked.”
