Meadows: Biden administration policies prioritize 'America last'
GOP must fight back on Biden actions, Trump impeachment, former White House staffer says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Biden’s record number of executive orders aren’t focused on putting America and the people first, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told "Sunday Morning Futures."
"I can tell you, it is not about America first, it’s about America last," he said. "And we need to make sure we fight back on behalf of the American people."
Meadows said the orders, which were most likely written by special interest lobbyists, go against the "very heart of America" including standards on energy, immigration and foreign relations.

In order to push back on the president’s actions, Meadows said the GOP should start by being "more aggressive" in Texas and suggested inciting lawsuits and ensuring that American voices are heard after the closing of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

"We have Joe Biden saying he wants to unify but it’s more of a Joe Biden-go-it-alone kind of approach," he said. "What we need to make sure is that we challenge it at every turn."

The former White House staffer also encouraged the continued fight against Trump’s "unconstitutional" second impeachment, which Meadows said is solely designed for House Democrats to gain "political vengeance" and "have a viral moment."

Even though Trump is now considered a private citizen, Meadows said the Democrats will continue to put on a "political theater" by running the Feb. 9 trial.
