Biden stoked racial tension by vilifying half the country as white supremacist. Biden pointed at Republicans whom his Justice Department is targeting as propping up \u201cauthoritarian leaders\u201d who \u201cfan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights.\u201d Biden aimed to justify the<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/08\/bidens-maga-republican-screed-gives-gatekeepers-the-greenlight-to-purge-political-foes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> total cancellation<\/a> of the more than 74 million Americans who dared cast a ballot for Trump in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies,\u201d Biden said. <\/p>\n<p>Biden however, received celebrity treatment after his speech in a scene straight out of hell. Trump on the other hand, was painted as the anti-Christ. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
