Van Hollen on Trump Joint Address: “Lies, Lies, and More Lies”

Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding Trump’s Joint Address to Congress:

“Tonight was another chapter in Donald Trump’s great betrayal of the American people, with lies, lies, and more lies – but no plan to lower costs for working families. The only takeaway from Trump’s rambling speech was his commitment to giving the keys of the government to Elon Musk to do the bidding of special interests, all while handing huge tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy. And despite his lies tonight, the truth is clear: Trump’s illegal actions are hurting our communities, doing nothing to lower costs, and harming our federal workers and the critical services they provide to the American people. I’ll continue to stand up and speak out against his attacks and lies, and we will keep fighting back in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities.”
