On Thursday evening, Joe Biden attacked millions of Americans, saying he didn’t “respect MAGA Republicans.”

He said MAGA Republicans were full of “anger, violence, hate, and division.” He even said it was “semi-fascism.”
This was completely delusional. White House Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre didn’t clean it up. She was asked about him saying he didn’t respect millions of Republicans who supported President Donald Trump.
REPORTER: “The president yesterday suggested that Republican ideology is veering towards ‘semi-fascism…’ More than 70 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020. Is he not respectful of those voters?

First, she falsely claimed he didn’t say that. Then she doubled down on it, saying what Biden said last night was that “when it comes to MAGA Republicans — when it comes to the extreme, ultra wing of Republicans — they are attacking democracy…they are attacking – taking away rights and freedoms. They use threats of violence. They want to take away our voting rights. He said so. That’s what he did. He called it what it is…What we would argue, historians would agree with us on.”
Can she please point to how MAGA Republicans are “taking away rights”? Let’s say one voting right has been removed. Wanting voter ID is fascism now? She’s believing the Democratic propaganda and she’s high on that supply. She’s untethered from all reality in her response. She should look at all of the people on the left that rioted in 2020 during the BLM riots if she really wants to discuss violence.
Jean-Pierre claimed Biden was “eloquent” (something Biden has never been — he was ranting and incoherent) and tried to justify Biden’s attack, by saying that he praised Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who she called a “traditional conservative.” “Traditional conservative” to them means a moderate who is anti-Trump and will roll over for Democrats. Hogan doesn’t consider himself conservative. Biden, KJP and others are continuing their history of being wrong about everything.
Jean-Pierre stated that MAGA philosophy was also fascism. He called 50% of voters fascists or even more.
KJP: “What MAGA Republicans have done…You look at the definition of fascism and you think about what they’re doing in attacking our democracy, what they’re doing in taking away our freedoms, taking away our rights, our voting rights. This is exactly what it is. pic.twitter.com/pqQMYANMi5

Talk about projection. It was Joe Biden who took people’s rights away with the vaccine mandate, who took people’s jobs away for not being vaccinated, and who sided with the teachers’ unions in keeping kids out of school. How can MAGA Republicans even be fascist when they don’t control the government as the Democrats do right now? Fascism is about things like weaponizing federal agencies after political opponents so maybe KJP should be checking closer to home when she’s talking about fascists.
Biden, his men and their minions are pushing hate here to divide more of the country.
