Tennessee Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday for waging war on the economy and not putting Americans first.
Hagerty shared the blistering remarks during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.
“I’ll be a no on the package, Maria,” Hagerty said about an additional $40 billion aid package under consideration for Ukraine.
“We’ve got to look at our own national security first,” he added. “We’re not taking care of our own country.”
Hagerty instead focused on Biden’s own war against American industry.
“The best thing Biden administration could do is stop the war that he’s waged on American industry. That would lower prices overall. That would take the funding away from Putin’s war machine against Ukraine and make our economy better here. Biden will not do that, and he’s taken us in a bad direction,” he said.
