On Thursday night, against a blood-red backdrop, President Biden declared half of Americans a “threat to the country” while taking shots at “MAGA Republicans” and his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
…who has been out of office for almost two years.
“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said feet from Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
“There’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”
“They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy,” Biden said about 20 minutes into his speech.
“MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies. Together, we can choose a different path,” Biden said.
“They’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself,” Biden insisted.
“I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in his country — the freedom to vote and have your vote counted — be taken from you and the American people.”
Biden’s shockingly divisive speech drew some very unflattering comparisons on social media.
“The ‘TrUmP iS LiTeRaLly HitLeR!’ crowd really enjoyed Biden’s speech tonight…” said Tim Young.

Johnson also shared a Fox News analysis, discussing the Satanic vibe of the whole event.
“The imagery there was almost Satanic with that blood-red lighting and the two marines behind him it was just insane. This was a garbage speech by garbage President and the fact that he gave this disgusting, dangerous speech at Independence Hall is a sacrilege.” pic.twitter.com/ZqHITqhBDC
