Joe Biden blasted former President Donald Trump and ‘MAGA Republicans‘ for ‘destroying America’ at a Maryland rally Thursday night.
‘I respect conservative Republicans, I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans,’ Biden told the crowd gathered at the Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
Biden warned that ‘the MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and our economic security, they’re a threat to our very democracy.’
‘They refuse to accept the will of the people, they embrace political violence, they don’t believe in democracy,’ he continued. ‘That’s why in this moment, those of you who love this country, we must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving America than the MAGA Republicans are destroying America.’
Biden outed Congressional Republicans who he said told him they felt they should have voted for the Inflation Reduction Act – his most recent legislative accomplishment that includes healthcare, prescription drug and climate initiatives – but didn’t, fearing political repercussions.
‘You’d think if the Republicans really cared about reducing inflation they would have voted for the Inflation Reduction Act,’ Biden said. ‘But every single Republican voted against it – even I know at least a dozen of them who thought they should vote for it, but they would be primaried for it.’
No Republican in either the House or Senate voted for the legislation.
‘Every single American needs to return the favor when we vote,’ Biden said.
The president was briefly interrupted by a heckler who yelled: ‘You stole the election! You stole the election!’
The man, wearing a suit, was booed by the crowd and quickly ushered out. He shot up his fingers in a ‘V’ formation, a la Richard Nixon, and took a brief bow before he exited the room.
‘Let him go – let him go – that’s OK,’ Biden said as the incident played out. ‘Ignorance knows no boundaries,’ the president then added.
