Joe Biden Claims He Ran to ‘Unite the Country’ After Comparing Republicans to Racists

Charlie Spiering 14 Jan 2022

President Joe Biden claimed he ran for office to “unite the country” just days after he compared Republicans and even some Democrat senators to racists.

“I ran for president to unite the country,” Biden said during a speech on his video set across the street from the White House on the importance of infrastructure spending.

On Tuesday, Biden angrily denounced the Senate, calling it a “shell of its former self” for blocking legislation that would federalize state and local elections and open up elections to potential fraud.

Biden said senators who opposed the federal law were choosing the side of historical racists.

Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?

Biden berated the Senate for refusing to eliminate the Senate filibuster rules to pass the legislation, a step that even some moderate Democrats do not oppose.

Republicans reacted to the speech with anger, calling out Biden for his divisive rhetoric.

This is a simply ridiculous cause.
A functioning SCOTUS will throw the law out on its face.
The Constitution demands that elections are solely in the hands of the state legislatures.
No way out of that. too bad.

Well, not quite.

The Voting Rights Act passed in 1965 made the federal government the overseer of elections of certain states.  Some of it was struck down by the SC, but not all of it and took almost fifty years to do so.

I don't believe that we have a SCOTUS that is functioning as it should.

They'll play hell... Red state legislatures will not bend over and grab their ankles.

Maybe so - but they would have to be whack to mess with this.

I am not at all confident in this SCOTUS.  They've already shown their liberal hands and Kavanaugh looks to be as bad as Roberts.  So I don't see them ruling according to the Constitution and States' rights.

Driving HALF the states into nullifying a SCOTUS order would not profit them.

It was the Texan President LBJ who subjugated his home state as well as other Southern states.  At the time, the Dems ran Congress as well as those Southern states, too.

Isn't "uniting the country" the same reason why Hitler and Stalin took over Germany and the USSR?

Not to mention Castro,Pol Pot,Chairman Mao,etc,etc,etc.
