Republican Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis has called out the Biden Administration over supply chain breakdowns and urged it to take action and find a solution.

This week Davis took to Twitter to express his frustrations.

"It's ironic that President Biden has called on the private sector to 'step up' and address the supply chain crisis when his Administration's own policies punish the private sector," he wrote in a tweet. 

Davis joined other House Republicans to urge Pres. Joe Biden to address the global supply chain and port crisis. 

"House Republicans have repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to work on bipartisan solutions to improve our infrastructure," Davis and others wrote in a letter addressed to the president. "We regret that our efforts have been spurned as Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, and your Administration use infrastructure as a Trojan horse to push radical policies that make it more difficult and expensive for families to find or afford basic goods and for businesses to continue the long road to recovery from the pandemic."

This isn't the first time Davis has criticized the current administration; during the summer he lambasted the administration for "secretly censoring speech," the Metro East Sun reported, when he accused the Democratic administration of colluding with social media sites to hide what they consider "misinformation."

"The answer to speech you disagree with should be more speech, not less," he wrote in a Facebook post over the summer that is now unavailable. "As a staunch defender of the First Amendment and free speech, I believe the Administration is attacking every American's fundamental and Constitutional right to free speech with their actions.”

But he doesn't always disagree with his colleagues on the left. 

He called a vote to remove Confederate statues from the capitol in July "a vote for unity," according to the Metro East Sun.

In a YouTube video he said he comes from the "Land of Lincoln," where the late-president delivered his House Divided speech in 1858. He called the bipartisan vote "a shining example to the rest of the country that we can do it together.”
