Courtney: While Americans Endure High Costs Due to His War & Tariffs, Trump Obsesses About an Election that Happened Six Years Ago

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) released the following statement on President Trump’s address to the nation.

“In the midst of a war with Iran that the President unilaterally escalated this past week, once again driving up the cost of living for Americans, it’s beyond bizarre for the President to hold a national televised address to obsess about an election that happened six years ago,” Courtney said. “The results of that election were investigated by his own intelligence team and were litigated repeatedly by state and federal courts and Congressional committees with no verified evidence of tampering that would have changed the outcome. The people of eastern Connecticut would rather have their President focus on the cost of living struggles they are enduring right now because of his war with Iran and his high tariffs as opposed to focusing on a conspiracy theory that has no basis in reality. It’s time to move on from the 2020 election, Mr. President – the vast majority of Americans you are supposed to serve have a long time ago.”
