Dang! I missed it! I tried watching Joe Biden’s “speech” on 9/1/22 on CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox, but it wasn’t carried on any of these major networks,
(If you believe that I tried watching it, I have a bridge to sell you!) It was only carried on CNN & MSNBC. Since my policy is to never watch either of these … oh well, que sera, sera. However, fortunately, I have been able to read a lot about it. I say fortunately, because this “speech” was all about MAGA Republicans, and proudly, along with many tens of millions of others, I am a MAGA Republican.
When I read about what J.B. said, I thought … this is Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” comment from Sept., 2016 all over again. [“You know,” Clinton said to a friendly crowd of wealthy donors, “to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”]
While she insulted only half of Trump supporters, J.B. insulted upwards to 60-70 million voters in order to appeal to that small number who watch CNN and MSNBC, and those yo-yos did not need convincing as those who watch CNN/MSNBC will undoubtedly vote for J.B. anyway.
For those that had other things to do on 9/1, here are some of the things he said about MAGA Republicans:
Early in the speech, Biden said, “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.”
Biden also said, “MAGA Republicans… do not believe in the rule of law.”
Biden called MAGA Republicans “semi-fascist”, claiming that they “promote authoritarian leaders.”
Biden said, MAGA Republicans “fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights.” He claimed that “they embrace anger. They thrive on chaos.”
Biden claimed that “MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy.”
Biden said, “Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: Either they win, or they were cheated. And that’s where the MAGA Republicans are today.”
Biden chastised MAGA Republicans as selfish and anti-democratic when he said, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”
Biden said that “MAGA Republicans… spread fear and lies.”
This speech was one insult after another – all directed to this “new basket of deplorables,” … the MAGA Republicans!
Even though I admittedly did not listen to his “speech,” after reading what he said, I was insulted. I wholeheartedly say, “Thank you, J.B,” as insulting the other side is never a good strategy. Similar to what transpired back in 2016 with Hillary, I look forward to seeing many of these same J.B. comments in the TV commercials of 2023 and 2024!
