Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) rebuked the idea that President Joe Biden‘s record on foreign policy would be looked back on in a positive light, stressing the need for a return to President-elect Donald Trump‘s handling of the matter.
The president defended his leadership on foreign policy during a recent speech at the State Department, including the United States’s largely criticized withdrawal from Afghanistan conducted under his watch. Mills, who pointed to Biden’s cognitive decline being showcased “day-by-day,” argued that Biden’s leadership has only made the world more dangerous thanks to the decision to delist the Houthi rebels as a terrorist organization while also refusing to stand with Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by the Hamas terrorist group.
“Look, we need to get back to President Trump’s foreign policy,” “We need to get back to getting a better leadership and bilateral agreements and trilateral agreements and strengthening the quad with our allies and holding adversaries accountable. And Joe Biden is just completely lost. And if Kamala Harris could win, she would have! They lost the Electoral votes, and they lost by a massive spread. It was a landslide for President Trump. So I’m not sure what Joe Biden’s doing, but he needs to go back to the basement eating ice cream,” Mills said on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle.
The Florida congressman also criticized the people defending Biden’s record on the global stage, telling the media and the press to stop “propping him up like a Weekend at Bernie’s routine,” a reference to the 1989 comedy film. He also described how Biden’s leadership has been harmful domestically, referencing how “Bidenflation” has financially affected voters and how illegal immigration is “increasing sex trafficking.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has similarly compared Biden’s presidency to Weekend at Bernie’s, stressing that the U.S. does not need another four years of the president’s leadership. The governor’s jab was made at the Republican National Convention, just a few days before Biden announced his decision to drop his reelection bid.
Ahead of Trump’s return to the White House next week, Mills pushed for the president-elect and Democrats to recognize China as “an adversarial nation” to the U.S. and set up “the necessary tariffs” to hold China accountable. He also expressed hope that Trump would “take back farmlands” on U.S. soil purchased by China, citing that “food security is national security.”

With less than a week to go before leaving the White House, the possibility of Biden issuing preemptive pardons to both former Rep. Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci has been considered and discussed by people in the political stratosphere. The president already issued a sweeping preemptive pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, last month, pardoning him of any actions he took over the course of 11 years.
One person Biden has confirmed he will not pardon, however, is himself, stating that he “didn’t do anything wrong.” The president also said he has no plans to be “out of sight or out of mind” once he leaves the White House.
