Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) made the following statement after the President’s State of the Union address.

“The President confirmed tonight that his bipartisan talking points are hollow. His willingness to circumvent Congress, the clear representation of the American people and American values, shows his agenda of hope and change is just rhetoric.  Threatening ultimatums for if and when Congress doesn’t act contradicts our founding principles. Forcing an executive agenda, without constructive conversation, creates a divided nation. Let’s sit down with our nation’s best interests in mind and come to bipartisan solutions that put America back in business.”
