Republican lawmakers have taken aim at a list of President Joe Biden's "top accomplishments" that the administration says can be used "when chatting with your Uncle at Thanksgiving."
The list states that Biden's accomplishments include "tackling inflation and lowering costs," citing lower gas prices since June, and the cost of living "moderating" according to The White House.
Biden also "took on big pharma" according to the list of talking points, which claims that he capped annual out-of-pocket description drug costs at $2,000 for seniors on Medicare and capped insulin co-pays at $35 per description for seniors on Medicare, among other things.
Elsewhere, Biden "worked with Republicans to rebuild infrastructure" and to pass the Chips and Science Bill, bought Republican and Democratic lawmakers together to pass the "first meaningful gun safety legislation in 50 years," and has also "rallied the world in defense of Ukraine" amid Russias invasion, according to the list of talking points.
Biden Takes Aim at 'Extreme' Republicans
Biden also took aim at Republicans in the list of talking points, calling them "extreme" while pointing to their proposals for a national ban on abortion, "planning to put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block, and "trying to raise costs on Americans by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act."GOP lawmakers quickly took aim at the list which comes at a time of soaring inflation that has seen some American households having to choose between food and gas.
'The Most Expensive Thanksgiving on Record'
"This morning, the Biden White House insisted we "bring the receipts to the Thanksgiving dinner!" Tommy Pigott, the Rapid Response Director, for the Republican National Committee said in a statement. "If they insist… This is the most expensive Thanksgiving on record."The Committee then noted that Turkey costs an extra 21 percent this year while stuffing mix is up 69 percent, and a host of other Thanksgiving dinner trimmings, including frozen peas, Pumpkin pie mix, whole milk, and sweet potatoes are all up more than 10 percent
"Biden has been lying about it for years," the statement added, in reference to soaring inflation.
"Every American family at the dinner table knows that Joe Biden has created the most expensive Thanksgiving on record and his war on American energy has caused the price of gas, diesel and home heating to skyrocket," Rep. Elise Stefanik, (R-N.Y.), told the publication.
A string of other lawmakers, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn, (R-Tenn.), and Sen. Bill Cassidy, (R-La.) took aim at Biden's victory lap.
"America’s best days are ahead," the president wrote.
