Yesterday, Vice President Harris and President Biden visited Georgia. As was expected, Biden delivered a scripted, angry speech. This was a total 180 from his remarks earlier in the day. his decades as a Senator about preserving the filibuster, endorsing making whatever changes necessary to the Senate rules in order to, as he said it, “prevent a minority of Senators from blocking action on voting rights.”
“When it comes to protecting majority rule in America, the majority should rule in the United States Senate,” he stated.

Though what will be talked about most in the days to come in response to Biden’s remarks will be the various ways Senate Democrats can/will try to go about doing this, which would basically include doing an end-run around two (possibly more) fellow Democrats including Sens. While Joe Manchin was addressing the Georgia crowd, Kyrsten Sinema and Kyrsten Silenza made some more troubling remarks that are worthy of being mentioned and discussed.
At one point during his speech, Biden pulled the “you’re either with us or you’re evil,” card, suggesting that those who disagreed with him and his fellow Democrats on federalizing elections were akin to racist Democrats of the past including Jefferson Davis, Bull Connor, and George Wallace.
“I ask every elected official in America: How do you want to be remembered?” Biden asked rhetorically. “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Are you ready to stand on the side Bull Connor or John Lewis? Would you rather be with Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln? Now is the time to make your decision. Our elections. To defend our democracy.”
Watch:
During his speech Joe Biden claimed that anyone who does not agree with the bill to federalize elections is a “domestic foe” and is on the side George Wallace and Bull Connor.

For those who have been operating under the mistaken notion over the last year that Joe Biden really was one day going to become that “uniter in chief” he promised during his campaign that he would be if elected, Biden’s racially charged comments probably came as a shock. But though disgusting, they weren’t surprising for most of us who have understood for a while now that Biden has long used race as a tool to get ahead in politics, going back to when he was first elected to serve in the Senate in the early 1970s and continuing throughout his lengthy political career, including his time as Barack Obama’s Vice President and as a presidential candidate:

Some believe that his opportunistic tactics against Clarence Thomas (then-Supreme Court nominee) had undertones racism. Thomas himself believed Biden’s and the other Democrats’ efforts to torpedo his 1991 nomination were because Thomas was “the wrong black guy. He has to be destroyed.”
Another memorable moment where Biden trotted out the race card to try and win the hearts and minds of black voters was during the 2012 presidential campaign, when he alleged that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney – Mitt Romney – was going to “put you all back in chains” because Romney was “going to let the big banks once again write their own rules.”
More recently, Biden infamously said on the Charlamagne Tha God radio program in May 2020 that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
My gut feeling is that not only will Biden’s efforts to nuke the filibuster fail spectacularly, but the way he’s going about it – what he said today – ultimately will backfire. The Democratic party is already losing black and Hispanic voters, many of who feel taken advantage of because they’re viewed as an “automatic vote” for Democrats.
Plus, Democrats go further left year after year, and the “woke” stuff is a turn off for a growing number of minority voters who don’t support defunding the police and don’t support racist educational curriculums nor any agendas that involve essentially kneecapping one group of students so the other ones can “catch up.”
Simply stated, more people are refusing to accept the use of race as a political tool. Those same voters also realize that someone who really wants to unite the country wouldn’t resort to using such despicable props. Don’t be surprised if we see that reflected in the exit polls later this year after the midterm elections.
As I’ve said before, when they tell us who they really are, we should listen. Joe Biden revealed who he really was to Americans today in his speech. The American voters must reject Biden’s agenda at the polls.
