Meghan McCain's husband Ben Domench has claimed President Joe Biden's prime time speech about the COVID-19 recovery was 'full of lies from a senile person.'
Domench, a Fox News contributor and publisher of the conservative online political magazine The Federalist, appeared on Fox Business to critique Biden's speech which discussed his signing of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package and coronavirus vaccines.
'This is another garbage speech full of lies from a senile person who thinks they're charge of America but actually isn't running anything,' Domenech said.
'I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I mean, the reality is that this guy who has been trolled out to us as being president of the United States except for the fact that he hasn't taken a single question for 50 days.'

Domench added that Biden tried 'to defend a massive expenditure of taxpayer money but something that is also not targeted in any real way,' referring to the massive stimulus package.
He was not the only one who targeted Biden for alleged lying during the speech.
In an op-ed for CNN, conservative commentator Scott Jennings said 'Biden didn't really tell the "truth" about his COVID relief bill.'
'Biden closed by again talking about "the truth" as he prepares to hit the road to sell a piece of legislation that has already passed and been signed into law,' Jennings wrote.
'We've been inundated with polling that claims the American Rescue Plan is overwhelmingly popular, so why go to such lengths to sell it now?'
'Because the word is out -- the bill has little to do with COVID relief. A $1,400 check is not going to lift anyone out of poverty, despite slobbering to the contrary.'
He added: 'The cold political truth is that the economy is already improving without the bill, but Biden wants to connect that improvement with legislation that will have little to do with our recovery.'
Megan McCain also tweeted during the speech after Biden said the 'goal' was to have Americans enjoy July 4th with their loved ones
Biden also asked Americans to stay the course fighting the coronavirus while offering hope that life could begin to return to ‘normal’ later this summer.
Biden outlined the steps his administration has taken to combat the deadly disease, and said the 'goal' was to have Americans enjoy July 4th with their loved ones.
‘If we do all this, if we do our part, we do this together, by July the 4th, there´s a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day,’ he said.
Meghan McCain, the daughter of late Sen. John McCain and co-host of The View, responded to Biden's Independence Day comments.
'If this virus is over by the Fourth of July - there won't be a firework left in this entire country because I will have bought them all and lit them off my roof with an American flag bandana,' she tweeted.
Meanwhile conservative commentators have criticized Biden for failing to acknowledge the role his predecessor played in process.
Sean Hannity led the outrage stating on his Fox News show: 'Joe, you want unity? Why don't you just thank Donald Trump? You want us all to get along, you say. No Trump, no vaccine, Joe. Stop trying to take credit for something, frankly, you had nothing to do with. Nothing.'
Meanwhile, Katie Pavlich told her 807,000 Twitter followers: 'Biden taking credit for the vaccine is just absolutely astonishing, but not surprising'.
'Who let him out of the basement?' actor Terrence K. Williams asked. 'Joe Biden is taking credit for the things President Trump made happen in this horrible presidential address. Operation Warp Speed created by Trump is the reason the rollout of the vaccine is successful.'
The Trump Administration established Operation Warp Speed last April to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID vaccines.
