'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,' Biden said on Thursday.
President Joe Biden is pictured delivering a speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 1, 2022. Biden on Thursday denounced former President Donald Trump and"MAGA forces" in his speech."MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution," he added."They do not believe in the rule of law. They did not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election and they're working right now... to undermine democracy itself.
"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backward... to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love," he continued."They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence." The president went on to quote House January 6 Committee testimony from Republican J. Michael Luttig, a former federal judge, who saidin June that"Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy."
Biden maintained that"Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to the election: ether they win, or they were cheated," before adding"that's where the MAGA Republicans are today."
