He compared a bipartisan majority of Senators to literal traitors. How profoundly, profoundly unpresidential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell said that as Biden gave the speech, he \u201cdid not recognize the man at the podium yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s rant yesterday was, incoherent, incorrect, and beneath his office,\u201d McConnell said. \u201cThe President repeatedly invoked the January 6th riot while himself using irresponsible, delegitimizing rhetoric that undermines our democracy. The sitting President of the United States compared American states to \u2018totalitarian states.\u2019 He said our country will be an \u2018autocracy\u2019 if he does not get his way. The world saw our sitting Commander-in-Chief propagandize against his own country to a degree that would have made Pravda blush.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwelve months ago, the President said that \u2018politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.\u2019 That was just twelve months ago. Yesterday he poured a giant can of gasoline on that fire,\u201d McConnell continued. \u201cIn less than a year, \u2018restoring the soul of America\u2019 has become this: agree with me, or you\u2019re a bigot. From lowering the temperature to invoking totalitarian states and the Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL: Twelve months ago, a newly-inaugurated President Biden stood on the West Front of the Capitol and said this: \u2018My whole soul is in this: bringing America together, uniting our people, and uniting our nation.\u2019 Yesterday, the same man delivered a deliberately divisive speech that was designed to pull our country farther apart.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Twelve months ago, this President said we should \u2018see each other not as adversaries, but as neighbors.\u2019 Yesterday, he called millions of Americans his domestic \u2018enemies.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Twelve months ago, this President called on Americans to \u2018join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.\u2019 Yesterday, he shouted that if you disagree with him, you\u2019re George Wallace.
