Ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, a significant security measure is being implemented around the U.S. Capitol with the erection of a 12-foot tall fencing. Multiple sources report that worker crews have begun assembling large fencing to secure the perimeter of the Capitol in response to potential protests and other security concerns. This action has sparked a wave of criticism from various political figures and commentators who contrast Biden's decision to secure the Capitol with fencing for his speech against his stance on border security. Critics argue that while Biden prioritizes a barrier for his own protection during the State of the Union, he has been resistant to similar measures for the nation's southern border, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in policy regarding security and protection.
