Joe Biden’s Valley Forge Speech About Trump’s ‘Threat to Our Democracy’ Was as Awful as You’d Expect

 “Biden had the nerve to say democracy is on the ballot, as his party tries to remove Trump from multiple state ballots.”


. . ."Joel Pollak of Breitbart News notes that this was just more of the same, tired strategy that Biden has used in the past:

President Joe Biden kicked off his reelection campaign on Friday near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, with recycled attack lines against Donald Trump that he had previously used in the 2020 presidential campaign.

Biden claimed — as if it were a fact — that Trump had called fallen soldiers (Biden called them “dead soldiers”) “suckers” and “losers,” an unsubstantiated accusation by unnamed sources that was refuted at the time by more than a dozen people who went on the record, including some who opposed Trump.

Biden also attacked Trump for considering the use of the Insurrection Act in 2020 — which Biden described as a frightening use of the military on American streets, omitting the fact that Black Lives Matter rioters were rampaging through America’s cities.

Much of the speech was devoted to the third anniversary of the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021; Biden moved his speech a day earlier to avoid bad weather. He made no mention of similar left-wing “insurrections,” such as a left-wing shutdown of the California State Assembly this week — which resulted in no arrests at all, even though legislators had to flee the building.

The important thing to remember here, is that Biden’s speech was a preview of the next ten months. His devoted followers in the media will repeat his argument for him between now and November. Prepare to hear a lot more of this rhetoric.
