On Thursday, the Democrat spoke in front of the MLK Memorial in Washington D.C. to honor its 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking at the gathering, Biden decided it was a good time to push his multi-trillion dollar economic package while calling for \u201cequity,\u201d touting his child tax credit and calling for improvements to pre-K education. He also pushed for the Democrats\u2019 so-called Voting Rights bill, which was recently struck down in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday the right to vote and the rule of law are under unrelenting assault from Republican governors, attorneys general, secretaries of state, state legislators and they\u2019re following my predecessor, the last president, into a deep, deep black hole and abyss,\u201d Biden claimed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: While at the MLK memorial, Joe Biden claims he was \u201cinvolved\u201d in the civil rights movement.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s completely false.<\/p>\n<p>Biden admitted in 1987: \u201cI was not an activist\u2026I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C90Z2DdwZ3\">pic.twitter.com\/C90Z2DdwZ3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1451237854156402696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He then accused Republicans of being afraid to even talk about the legislation, adding the push to get it passed is far from over. Meanwhile, Republicans have argued the bill is nothing more than an attempt to federalize U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gov-newsom-pledges-to-prevent-new-oil-drilling-near-communities\/\">Gov.
