PHILADELPHIA (Yaakov M / VINnews) — In a rare primetime speech, President Biden trashed the millions of Trump supporters who call themselves MAGA Republicans.

In the divisive speech, Biden the self-proclaimed “unifier” accused MAGA supporters of an “extreme ideology” that essentially threatens “the very foundations of our republic.”
In addition, some were outraged that the stage design and tone of the speech was reminiscent of evil regimes like the Nazis.
Right-wing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene tweeted, “Joe Biden just declared all of us enemies of the state” and called for his impeachment.
She also called out the imagery of the stage set behind Biden, suggesting it resembled past evil empires.

Biden’s appearance in Philadelphia, near Independence Hall, was promoted as an official, taxpayer-funded event, and the administration claimed it was not a political speech.
“Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said.
“There is 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,” the Democrat said.
He accused Trump and “MAGA Republicans” of wanting to “destroy American democracy,” and called upon people to “confront extremists”.
Biden’s speech was clearly designed as a propaganda tool, to depict Trump and his tens of millions of supporters as radical extremists who are prone to violence.
He made 11 references to “violence,” saying that it “can never be an acceptable [political] tool.”
In one instance, he accused MAGA followers of having “wild conspiracy theories.”

Biden also claimed that the relatively miniscule number of people who breached the Capitol are considered by the “MAGA Republicans” as patriots. Trump, his administration, and many Republicans condemned the violence at the U.S. Capitol.
“MAGA forces 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 marry who you love,” Biden said.
Multiple Republicans blasted Biden’s vicious and incendiary rhetoric.
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Twitter that Biden “owe[s] millions of Americans an apology,” adding, “Instead of trying to bring our country together to solve the MANY problems he has created, President Biden has chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans—simply because they disagree with his policies.”

Sen. Marco Rubio wrote: “Angry man smears half of the people of the country he is supposed to lead & promised to unite.”
Senator Ted Cruz said that Biden’s speech was “divisive” and “angry,” and accused Biden of being “only interested [in] pitting his fellow Americans against one another.”
The speech was a dark and divisive speech. Was filled with lies and intimidation. Very anti American.
USA is being destroyed by the sedom liberals. And this puppet has the audacity to say the opposite
My takeaway from this speech is that Republicans are a bunch of snowflakes.
Biden made a good point. Trump demands absolute loyalty to his person, not his policies. That is the first step of fascism. The left has not demanded that at all, ever. Trump tried to illegally overturn the election, the Democrats in 2000 tried to do so legally. Big difference, in fact, all the difference.
Trump and his followers are a danger to America. Maybe it is Hashem’s message that America’s golus is about to be terminated and we are off to the next place. Hopefully EY.
The country is unified through respect for democracy and the institutions of democracy.
Unity does not come about by respecting those that seat fake electors, seel to pressure the VP to overturn elections or to violently storm the capital
Biden is a leader and unifer because he stands for democracy and calls out the proponents of dangerous MAGA philosophy.
I can’t believe this site has painted Joe Biden as a Nazi and Marjorie Taylor Greene as our hero
Marjorie Taylor Greene dabbles in white Christian supremacy, conspiracy theories and ant Semitism
Among the many crazy and dangerous things she said:
1) A wildfire in California was started by a laser “beamed from space and controlled by a prominent Jewish banking family with connections to powerful Democrats
2) She described herself as a “ Christian nationalist”
Do I have to explain to you what this means to us Jews or anyone who is not a white Christian in America
This demented and hateful, radical, leftist fool must be impeached immediately after the midterms.
You can’t expect anything else from a demented windbag.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our Republic…Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans.”
— Biden
Reminiscent of another insane leader i
he has made it clear- if you support murdering unborn babies and marrying whom you want, you belong with him- if not you are a semi fascist. how could anyone who is frum support democrats? how?
Biden is an evil man together with his party are anti american.
They have done the most damage to what american stand for
very nice you deleted Marjory Taylor Greene’s tweet where she calls Biden a Hitler
Still wonder how many Jewish (including religious) votes the DemocRATS will get . Shame on us we never get it
He’s gone from bad to worse to EVEN WORSE !!!
Someone should change his meds, ASAP, He’s LOST IT !!!
the more grotesque the evil gets the closer we are to the geulah shleima!
Great speech and very true.
MAGAism is a threat to America and democracy. Biden correctly pointed out that most Republicans are not MAGA but sadly many are.
The MAGA sickness has also penetrated deeply into our community as well.
Biden took a courageous stand. We must recognize the danger that MAGAism presents to our country and community and work to eradicate this harmful ideology.
He attacked all the deplorables! No?
the more grotesque the evil gets the closer we are to the geulah shleima
backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy…no right to marry who you love,
A right or a wrong?
If we really want unity and an end to this maga vs Democrats craziness, Biden outghto pardon trump and every investigator including James needs to stop their investigations. Just let the man be. Stop being so aultristic about justice. Let hashem do that. I know life is some times not fair but that’s how you move forward.
And let me tell you something, If we never investigated the man since he left office, he’d be a fringey yelling stolen elections with not to many followers. However now that he is so much I the news it brings energy to his side and he gets more support. If you cared about the country vs politics you’d let it go. But Ofc it’s all about politics. Biden would prefer trump is energised just enough so that it represents the Republican Party which he thinks would help him win and distract fro His disaster . If they wouldn’t investigate trump and trump would be a fringe with No strong republicans base then Biden Loses . Biden could care less about truely uniting
Kathy Hochul was right. All those evil white racist Republican deplorables that voted for Donald Trump should leave this country immediately, all 70+ million.
