So former President Barack Obama had to come out of retirement to try to help floundering Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend he swooped into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/michigan\">Michigan<\/a> to endorse Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at a campaign rally in Detroit. There, he chastised politicians (Republicans, not Democrats) for creating what he called a \u201cdangerous climate\u201d with their \u201cdemonizing\u201d rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we don\u2019t just disagree with people but we start demonizing them, making wild crazy allegations about them, that creates a dangerous climate,\u201d Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bLrg38Z13oY\">said<\/a> as the crowd applauded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if elected officials don\u2019t do more to explicitly reject that kind of rhetoric, if they tacitly support it, or encourage their supporters to stand outside voting places armed with guns, dressed in tactical gear, more people can get hurt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As if on cue, someone in the crowd shouted out and Obama saw the opportunity to deliver a lecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t do that at a workplace!\u201d The Chosen One shouted. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t just interrupt people in the middle of a conversation! It\u2019s not how we do things \u2026 and this is part of the point I want to make!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Obama\u2019s claims of incendiary-free rhetoric runs entirely counter to what Biden says nearly every day about 74 million Americans who supported former President Donald Trump in the last election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to vote to literally save democracy again,\u201d Biden said at an August rally in Rockville, Maryland. \u201cTrump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division, but we\u2019ve chosen a different path \u2014 forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In September, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-man-killed-a-teenager-for-being-a-republican-extremist-police-say-is-the-president-still-responsible-for-political-violence\">said<\/a>: \u201cMAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,\u201d he later added. \u201cMAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of the law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And just Tuesday, Biden derided Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling him \u201cTrump incarnate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a rare campaign speech, this one for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist, Biden likened Republicans to racists and anti-Semites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the folks who are of the ilk that the guy Charlie is running against began to rear their heads en masse, I changed my mind,\u201d Biden said about his decision to drop into Florida in a last-ditch effort to save Crist, who, according to a Real Clear Politics (RCP) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/governor\/fl\/florida_governor_desantis_vs_crist-7324.html\">average<\/a> of all polls, is trailing DeSantis by 12.3 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, remember what happened down in Virginia, when those folks came out of the fields, carrying torches \u2014 and carrying not only torches, but also swastikas? Not a joke. I mean, it\u2019s hard to remember and believe it \u2014 as well as making sure that they had white supremacists with them,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/11\/01\/remarks-by-president-biden-at-reception-for-gubernatorial-candidate-charlie-crist\/\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd seeing the same antisemitic chanting, the same antisemitic bile that was chanted in Germany in the \u201830s. And my predecessor was asked, \u2018What do you think?\u201d And he said, \u201cThere are very good people on both sides.\u2019 And the Republican Party basically remained silent,\u201d Biden said, without elaborating on the rest of what Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not your father\u2019s Republican Party. This is a different group of people,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>Like his former boss, Biden also speaks out of both sides of his mouth \u2014 demonizing Republicans while condemning divisive political rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>In an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/president-joe-biden-60-minutes-interview-transcript-2022-09-18\/\">interview<\/a> on CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d host Scott Pelley said to Biden: \u201cConcerning politics, Mr. President, you were elected to the Senate in 1972. You were 29 years old. And in those days, it seemed that the parties worked together to move the country forward. And I think many Americans feel that that no longer happens, and, in fact, may be impossible now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Putting on his most avuncular mask, Biden said: \u201cWell, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s impossible. But it\u2013 it\u2013 it\u2019s changed. What we do today, think about it, it\u2019s all personal attacks. It\u2019s about motive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about, \u2018I disagree with you on the \u2014 on the subject matter. And secondly, I think that \u2014 it\u2019s \u2014 I think it\u2019s fair to say that we\u2019ve not had a president like the last president, who has made all of it so personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
