Joe Biden on Independence Day: America Has ‘Come Up Short’ and Feels Like It Is ‘Moving Backward’
Charlie Spiering 4 Jul 2022
President Joe Biden celebrated Independence Day on Monday, but expressed disappointment about ongoing gun violence and the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Liberty is under assault, both here and abroad,” he said, alluding to the Supreme Court. “In recent days, there’s been reason to think this country is moving backward, that freedom is being reduced, that rights we assumed were protected are no longer.”
The president delivered a speech to the American people from the White House as part of a barbecue with military service members.
He revisited his presidential campaign slogan, noting the country is still in an “ongoing battle for the soul of America.”
“I know it can be exhausting and unsettling, but tonight, I want you to know we’re going to get through all of this,” he said, referring to the political divisions in the country.
The president described the United States as “a project that has come up short in many ways, but which continues even in this hour.”
