We Will Hold Biden Accountable!

If you're upset over this, wait until Nov. 2024 when a close election could be decided by these folks.

Question, are you more upset over Americans interrupting the President of the United States or the fact that 23,000 Palestinians being killed by Israeli forces?

If you upset that protesters heckled the president inside a Black church instead of 10,000 children being killed, 1.9 million people being displaced and tensions sparked by Israel, then you seriously have some issues. 

I rather stay upset over the countless deaths and the U.S. giving a green light to it.

To honor the victims of the Mother Emmanuel AME church massacre where a white terrorist named Dylann Roof massacred Black church goers, President Joe Biden along with Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) were greeted with the sounds of protest.

Several people interrupted the president and called him out on his decision to stand with Israel despite the country openly committing a genocide on Palestinians.

His defenders on social media are calling the protesters disrespectful, racist, anti-semitic, insufferable and plants. Several of them I follow on X.

I might have to drop them.

Anyway, for those who still support President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, here's why I am going to possibly avoid voting for them this go around.

They do not fucking listen.

They want to keep the status quo when it comes to Israel, insider trading, gotcha politics and scaremongering. I get enough of this bullshit from Donald J. Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Fox.

They are insufferable.

But the base that put the Democratic Party is fractured. I mean it is bad because they are going after the very people who backed Biden.

These Biden supporters are totally clueless as Trump supporters. Again, I am just as guilty. I am dehumanizing these people as well.

Biden on Monday denounced white supremacy and political violence in a direct message to Black voters during a visit to South Carolina aimed at shoring up a critical constituency whose support has waned since he took office.

The Democratic president continued to sharpen his attacks on former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican Party's 2024 nomination, while hailing his administration's efforts to reduce inflation, drive Black unemployment down and combat housing discrimination.

Describing the 2015 attack at the church, Biden said: "The word of God was pierced by bullets of hate and rage propelled by not just gunpowder, but by a poison. Poison that has for too long haunted this nation. And what is that poison? White supremacy ... This has no place in America — not today, tomorrow or ever."

Biden described Trump as a threat to democracy, citing the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021 hoping to overturn the Republican's election loss.

"That violent mob was whipped up by lies from a defeated former president," Biden said. "His actions were among the worst dereliction of duty of any president in American history."

Trump failed to concede the 2020 election or acknowledge the votes of millions, Biden said, despite dozens of court cases affirming Biden's victory.

"He's a loser," Biden said, drawing applause from hundreds attending the speech.

Biden trying to win back Black voters,

Recent polling has shown Trump beating Biden in swing states that will determine who wins the White House this year, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll in December showed a rematch would be close.

Biden's campaign said he would return to South Carolina before its Feb. 3 Democratic presidential primary. The president thanked Black voters in the South for helping him win the presidency.

Biden, who lauded the congregation for their forgiveness of the 2015 shooter, later met privately with families and survivors.

Biden's remarks were interrupted by protesters chanting "ceasefire now," referring to Israel's assault on Gaza that has killed more than 23,000 people. Biden said he has been working with the Israeli government to "get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza."

Some audience members chanted "four more years" when Biden took to the pulpit and again as those protesters were led away.

Biden's trip to the Southern state comes as some Democrats have raised questions about his reelection strategy. Some donors have been eager to hear Biden be more candid or more aggressively target Trump rather than focus on the economy.

Representative James Clyburn, a Democrat whose endorsement helped Biden win South Carolina in the 2020 primary, said on Sunday he was concerned about Biden's standing with Black voters and frustrated that the president's record had not resonated.

Clyburn, who gave Biden a rousing introduction, said he told Biden he worried that Democrats had "not been able to break through that MAGA wall in order to get to people exactly what this president has done."

MAGA refers to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Polls show support for Biden by Black voters has softened.

Former President Barack Obama, also concerned about Trump's potential to win in 2024, discussed the campaign with Biden over lunch before Christmas, according to a source familiar with the meeting.

The Washington Post reported on Saturday that Obama has told allies that Biden's campaign needs to have the power to make decisions without White House clearance.

Biden's campaign on Monday said Mitch Landrieu, who helped implement Biden's $1 trillion law to build new bridges, roads and spread high-speed internet, will leave his White House job to help lead the re-election effort.
