If you haven\u2019t gotten vaccinated, do it. Personal choice impacts us all, our hospitals, our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden continued with a call for better control of disinformation and misinformation, adding, \u201cI make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets: please, deal with the misinformation and disinformation that\u2019s on your shows.

Claiming that anyone who opposed his agenda was choosing the side of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, segregationist George Wallace, and Bull Connor \u2014 who set dogs on civil rights protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s rhetoric was so stark that it prompted an exchange between CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) \u2014 and even Durbin agreed that Biden may have taken things a bit too far.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cPerhaps the President went a little too far in his rhetoric\u2026 But the fundamental principles and values at stake are very, very similar,\u201d Sen.
