Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick stood firm defending President Trump’s controversial tariff policies during a fiery Fox News Sunday interview. The Republican lawmaker blasted China’s trade abuses while linking border security to America’s fentanyl crisis.
McCormick called Trump’s tariffs essential to fight back against Chinese communists stealing jobs and poisoning U.S. communities with deadly drugs. “These policies put America first,” he declared, accusing weak politicians of letting foreign nations exploit American workers for decades.
On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, McCormick praised Trump’s tough negotiation tactics. He claimed previous administrations wasted billions on foreign wars while Trump’s “peace through strength” approach would force Putin to respect American interests.
The senator ripped Biden-era open border policies for allowing fentanyl to flood Pennsylvania streets. “We need walls, not welcome mats,” he said, demanding immediate action to seal the southern border and stop drug cartels.
Discussing Gaza, McCormick unequivocally supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas terrorists. He condemned liberal attempts to restrain Israeli military operations, arguing Hamas uses civilians as human shields while burning American flags.
McCormick slammed radical Democrats for undermining Trump’s America First agenda through endless investigations and impeachment threats. He vowed to protect Pennsylvania jobs by keeping Chinese steel out and American factories open.
The freshman senator concluded by championing term limits to drain the Washington swamp. “Career politicians created these messes,” he said, urging voters to reject establishment elites in both parties.
Echoing Trump’s populist rhetoric, McCormick positioned himself as a fighter for forgotten Americans – promising to secure borders, revive manufacturing, and restore common sense to a nation he claims liberals are destroying.
