They were going for a philosophy he put forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that he doesn\u2019t consider just \u201cany Trump supporter [to be] a threat to the country\u201d and said his speech was only directed at Trump supporters who support violence or deny that he won the 2020 election fairly.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That was the most demagogic, outrageous, and divisive speech I have ever seen from an American president. Joe Biden essentially declared all those who oppose him and his agenda enemies of the republic. Truly shameful. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZcJX2BbZlt\">pic.twitter.com\/ZcJX2BbZlt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1565539785468514306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn violence when it\u2019s used, refuses to acknowledge an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which the rules and we count votes, that is a threat to democracy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the speech, which critics, including some on the Left, have called divisive and even \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/columnists\/article-11173485\/MEGHAN-MCCAIN-Bidens-unhinged-assault-MAGA-Republicans-throws-gas-fire-raging-country.html\">sinister<\/a>,\u201d Biden took no such pains to differentiate between subsets of Trump supporters, who he identified by using the \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d acronym.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo much of what\u2019s happening in our country today is not normal,\u201d Biden said. \u201cDonald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cMAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies. Together, we can choose a different path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At another point in the speech, Biden said Trump supporters do not respect the document that had been signed in the historic building behind him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThey did not believe in the rule of law. They did not recognize the will of the people. They refused to accept the results of a free election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The speech drew a mixed reception. Republicans and even some liberal commentators deemed it highly polarizing, though many Democrats applauded the tough talk directed at Trump supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The effort to dial it back came Friday as Biden responded to a question after an event touting federal manufacturing grants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden tried Friday to walk back his previous night\u2019s primetime attack on former President Trump\u2019s supporters, saying he doesn\u2019t consider them all to be \u201ca threat to the country\u201d after all.
