Biden calls for Americans to avoid MAGA extremism. |
President Joe Biden went to Philadelphia to deliver a speech which addresses the extremism in the United States being sponsored by Washed Up 45 and Republicans.
He finally address the elephant in the room, "the far-right extremism" and the danger it imposes on democracy. The democracy we all support could be at risk of a civil war thanks to the noise.
The president called upon Americans to take the threat seriously during his prime-time speech. He was also heckled by a "Let's Go Brandon" and "Trump won" extremist.
He spoke outside of Independence Hall drawing it as a place to honor the founding fathers who declared the United States an independent nation in 1776.
"For a long time, we've reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it is not. We have to defend it. Protect it. Stand up for it. Each and every one of us."
He said that MAGA Republicans are against democracy. He said that the party claims "patriotism" but denies the "freedoms" of everyone.
He called upon mainstream Republicans to condemn the noise of the far-right. It appears they aren't listening to the call from Biden. The Republicans are full stream ahead on culture wars and among other things the economy (via inflation). QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA) keeps the noise going by saying to guiliable Americans, "are you better than you were two years ago?"
Dude, we dealt with a deadly pandemic, civil unrest and a nation on the grip of civil war. Compare that to now, I rather be alive than worry about my wallet.
So if I were Democrats, I would ask the American people, what's more important: Your life or your wallet?
Holding the hand of Dr. Jill Biden, the president calls for unity and condemns the noise. |
It seems like it's getting worse. The former president continues to push further with this notion that the FBI "raided" his Mar-a-Lago resort. He claims that the top secret documents were declassified and the search of his property was a "witch hunt."
"Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal," he said before an audience of hundreds, raising his voice over pro-Washed Up 45 hecklers outside the building where the nation’s founding was debated. He said he wasn’t condemning the 74 million people who voted for Washed Up 45 in 2020, but added, "There’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans," said Biden.
The former president has even made the pledge that if he is elected as president, he will pardon or commute the sentences of those who participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Equality and democracy are under assault” in the U.S., Biden charged, casting Washed Up 45 and his backers in the GOP as a menace to the nation’s system of government, its standing abroad and its citizens’ way of life.
Washed Up 45 and the MAGA Republicans “promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence,” he said. They “are determined to take this country backwards.”
“Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,” he said, referencing the social issues that Democrats have looked to place front-and-center for voters this fall.
Biden’s appearance was promoted as an official, taxpayer-funded event, a mark of how the president views defeating the Washed Up 45 agenda as a policy aim as much as a political one. Red and blue lights illuminated the brick of Independence Hall, as the Marine Band played “Hail to the Chief” and a pair of Marine sentries stood at parade rest in the backdrop.
Still, the major broadcast television networks did not carry the address live.
That shows a great deal of concern. The junk food media relishes in this noise. So it's best to ignore the noise and vote.
Ignore the noise!
