United States Special Forces veteran and Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for Florida, Jay Collins, said he decided to run because he can help fix the nation’s problems after Joe Biden failed on the international stage.
“When America leads with courage, honor, and strength, it’s peace through strength. When you project power and strength, you keep all things in balance … It’s that simple,” Collins said, hitting Biden. He further said that Biden “has been on his heels, kowtowing down to the Taliban in Afghanistan, asking them for permission to get our people out. And you see that happen on the world stage still,” which led the Special Forces veteran to say, “We don’t need U.S. troops on the ground” in Ukraine.
“You can’t solve problems by printing more money, you can’t continue to alienate our brave men and women in law enforcement, and you can’t abandon our border, all very simple concepts. And it really came down to the fact that I believe that we have a voice,” he said about the current state of politics in Washington, DC.
