McConnell: Biden 'got it wrong again' when he claimed GOP can't say 'what they're for'
President Biden's repeated claim that Republicans cannot articulate "what they are for" to the American people drew pushback Thursday night from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

The GOP has been vocal about what the party views as the most pressing issues facing the country, McConnell insisted during an appearance on Fox News.

"My good friend the president got it wrong once again," McConnell told "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier.

"I helped him pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill, I supported in the Senate a bill to deal with China and the computer chip shortage," the Kentucky Republican recalled. 

"If the president starts acting like a moderate like he campaigned, we can do business. The reason we've not been speaking recently this year is because he adopted the Bernie Sanders prescription for America. He did that even though he got no mandate for it, a 50-50 Senate and a couple of seats' majority in the House, and they couldn't get it through." CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.

USA Swimming issues transgender policy statement amid Lia Thomas controversy
USA Swimming, the national governing body for the sport that oversees more than 360,000 members, released a statement Thursday on its transgender athlete policy that aimed to strike a balance between inclusivity and "competitive equity."

The policy has become a focus of attention amid the controversy surrounding Penn's Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete who started breaking Ivy League records since she began competing as a woman.

The USA Swimming statement was posted on Instagram and the organization said it was doing its best "to learn and educate ourselves on the appropriate balance in this space."

The organization said it has already implemented inclusion procedures that allow non-elite athletes to compete in a category that is consistent with their gender identity. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

SOME PARTING WORDS

Sean Hannity claimed in Thursday night's "Hannity" monologue that neither President Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris were up to the jobs to which they were elected in 2020 – and America could end up paying a steep price as a result.

"Tonight, it's clear we have a president and a vice president — they are not up to this job," Hannity said. "But I know this and you know this. America's enemies, they're also seeing everything we're seeing, and sadly, tonight, as a result, the world and our country [are] less safe and … less secure."
