Following all the lunacy of the last two days revolving around the leaked draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the White House let the president out of the basement on Wednesday. What transpired was a despicable, lie-filled speech in which Joe Biden dishonestly spoke of the Supreme Court, Trump supporters, and the economy.
Let’s start with the clip that is currently going viral in which Biden claimed the “MAGA crowd” is the “most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”
Of course, the senile old coot corrected himself, changing his statement to “recent” American history, but either way, it’s an insane comment to make. Biden should know that the far-left domestic terrorist groups of the 1960s existed because he was middle-aged by then. He should know that organizations currently exist that want to completely destroy America’s system of governance in exchange for some mix of anarchy and communism because he claims to still be sentient at this moment. The idea that your MAGA grandma is the “most extreme” being to ever grace this great nation is so absurd as to be laughable.
Do you know what Trump supporters want to do? They want to win elections, stop illegal immigration, and keep taxes low. How absolutely “extreme,” right? They aren’t attacking anything, and before someone mumbles “but January 6th,” that was a tiny group of disconnected people who have been severely punished, some unjustly. And if we are going to write off entire political movements due to incidents of violence, then the Democrat Party is completely disqualified due to the BLM riots of 2020, riots which did far more damage than January 6th.
Ironically, if anything, the MAGA movement largely represents policy moderation while the left tries to drag the country further and further into insanity, including promoting the mutilation of children. It’s not Trump supporters who are suggesting men can become women and that kids need to have access to gay pornography in schools. So spare us all the rants about being “extreme.” No movement in the country is currently more extreme than the one Biden ostensibly leads.
Past that, Biden pointedly lied about what overturning Roe would mean.
What state is proposing that “LGBT children,” an oxymoron in itself, not be in the same classroom as other children? Further, Alito’s draft decision, if it ends up being the final result, makes clear that the Supreme Court’s reasons for overturning Roe are not transferrable to things like gay marriage and interracial marriage, which rely on an equal protection argument. Yet, Democrats, including Biden, are out there shouting lies anyway in an attempt to stir up fear and possibly violence against the five Justices poised to overturn Roe.
Lastly, it is monstrous for Biden to use his supposed “devout” religious views to try to make an argument that there is an inherent “right” to abortion given by God. Does he sound anything like a “devout” Catholic to you? It’s one thing to hold a perverse viewpoint. That’s bad enough. But to then twist God himself into being a supporter of abject evil is…abject evil.
The last few days have hopefully been instructive for those on the right who think Democrats can be brought back to some level of sanity. It’s not going to happen. They are going to keep pushing, and that’s why it’s more important than ever for Republicans to be willing to fight back.
