Biden To Attack Maga Forces In Primetime Speech Moderator Insists He Wasn T Political

Biden will “shout what’s going on right now” and target “MAGA officials,” Jean-Pierre said as she deflected reporters’ questions about whether the speech would be divisive rather than unifying. The speech at 8 p.m. in Philadelphia, which will be broadcast live on multiple television outlets, will include Biden talking “about what we can do, can be done right now to defeat the forces that are threatening — that are threatening us,” Zhan- said Pierre in her regular update. About two hours after Jean-Pierre left the podium, her office released excerpts of Biden’s prepared remarks, showing that he will say: “MAGA forces are determined to take this country back. Back to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry the one you love.” MAGA is short for Trump’s political mantra “Make America Great Again.” But the press secretary insisted there was nothing political about the rare prime-time speech and that it did not conflict with Biden’s 2020 campaign pledge to seek political unity between Republicans and Democrats. “There is a growing number of people who refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections, people who are actually talking openly about rigging the elections in the future,” Jean-Pierre said. “This is not a speech where he is going to tell people to vote for one party or the other. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that President Biden’s speech will not be a “political speech.” Hannah Beier/Bloomberg via Getty Images “He will talk about uniting the people of this country who believe in equality and democracy.” “Is this a political speech tonight?” Reuters reporter Jeff Mason asked. “No, it’s not a political reason. This is an opportunity, again, for the president to have a direct conversation with the American people,” Jean-Pierre said. “Look, he’s going to talk – of course he’s going to talk about the importance of commitment. He will talk about voter turnout. But this is a speech about a — such a broader issue: What it means to be a democracy and what it means to participate in our democracy.” Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden will focus on “uniting the people of this country” in his speech.

We get it. We understand that they are trying to hide and we understand that senior MAGA officials want to play games here and avoid responsibility for their extreme proposals and action,” he continued. “But they say it themselves. Look, the president has always clearly aimed his criticism at elected leaders. That’s what they’re doing in Congress, those extreme MAGA Republicans who are in office.” Last week, the president said support for his predecessor, who is openly considering a 2024 run for the White House, amounted to “quasi-fascism,” while Republican leaders criticized Biden for attacking the 74 million Americans who voted.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was to preface Biden’s speech from Scranton, Pa,. earlier Thursday afternoon. “President Biden has chosen to divide, belittle and belittle his fellow Americans — simply because they disagree with his policies,” McCarthy’s prepared remarks said. “When the president speaks tonight at Independence Hall, the first line out of his mouth should be to apologize for defaming tens of millions of Americans as ‘fascists,’” they add.

Biden will focus on “the fringes of the Republican Party — and we’re talking about [how] they want a nationwide ban on abortion. They want to give tax cuts to billionaires and corporations while raising taxes on middle class Americans. They are threatening political violence and attacking our democracy,” he said. “And so the president is going to take this moment to talk to the American people who — the majority agree with him — and talk about, you know, how we can continue to fight for our democracy and do it in an optimistic way. “ “I’ve said it before, the president is never going to avoid talking about his predecessor,” Jean-Pierre also said. “But it’s not a speech about the former president or a single politician or a political party.” Another reporter noted that Jean-Pierre had mentioned Biden’s “concern about this Republican MAGA, this extremist agenda, and that’s something he’s going to talk about tonight. How is it not a political speech?’ “It’s not going to avoid the extremism we’re seeing today,” the spokesman replied. “But, again, there’s a broader element of speech.” NBC reporter Kelly O’Donnell asked Jean-Pierre if there was anything in the speech intended to appeal to Americans who “might still support the former president,” but Jean-Pierre demurred. “When we talk about extremism, we’re talking about a very small part, a component of the American public. OK?’ he said. our democracy”.
