Sánchez: Trump’s lies, divisive rhetoric won’t help hardworking Americans

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement in response to President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress:

“Between the self-congratulatory nonsense, the hate-filled rhetoric and the outright lies, President Trump didn’t bother to tell the American people how he was going to improve their lives.

“He had the audacity to stand before the country and claim he’s restoring the American dream.’ Are you kidding me? The chaos he's unleashed since taking office has pushed that dream further out of reach for hardworking families.

“Republicans in the chamber might have cheered as he smugly laid out his plan to gut everything this country stands for, all so the rich can get another tax break. But the American people aren’t buying it. 

“Americans have had enough of the empty words, the hollow promises and the constant division. They’re tired of a president who only cares about himself.”
