Conservatives ridiculed President Joe Biden’s “despicable” Wednesday speech in which he warned midterm voters of the threats to democracy ahead of election day.
During his last address before the balance of power would be decided in Washington D.C., Biden pleaded with Americans to vote against Republicans, accusing them of being election deniers and MAGA extremists who have encouraged political violence, promoted former President Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” about the 2020 election, and have engaged in voter intimidation.
Rather than focusing the on main issues voters are most concerned about, namely, rampant inflation and other economic woes, Biden’s speech pointed the finger at his political opponents. He noted the assault against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, decrying the violence and misinformation supposedly fostered by extremist Republicans.

Biden claimed that “Recent polls have revealed that an overwhelming majority Americans believe our democracy, that democracy is under threat, is at risk.” They, too, see that democracy is on the ballot this year, and they’re deeply concerned about it.”
He claimed that MAGA extremists wanted to “suppress the rights of voters and subvert electoral system.” This means that you are denied your right to vote, and your vote is not counted.
Biden declared, “They’ve emboldened violence and intimidation of voters and election officials.” He also said, “We don’t settle our differences in America with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer, we settle them peaceably at the battle – ballot box.”

Twitter users condemned the speech and called Biden a hypocrite for calling out Republicans for alleged lies, intimidation, while ignoring his own party’s.
Conservative radio host Buck Sexton described the speech, saying, “While it lacked some of the ‘7th circle of hell’ vibes from his August speech, you could argue that, given the timing and messaging, that was the most bizarre, tone deaf, vicious, delusional speech of Biden’s presidency. That is quite a statement.
Responding to Biden’s denunciation of riots during the address, American Wire News managing editor Tom Tillison asked, “Did he sleep through the BLM riots???”
GOP communications strategist Matt Whitlock tweeted, “The guy who said common sense election integrity laws in Georgia are ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ and ‘Jim Eagle’ has zero credibility to lecture on ‘free and fair elections.’”

In response to Biden’s urge for peace, Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., made a reference to Democrats’ defense of the BLM protests, asking, “Does ‘mostly peaceful’ count?”

David Giglio, an ex-Republican congressman, wrote that this is “literally what delusion looks like and sounds like.”
Townhall.com political editor Guy Benson blasted Biden’s hypocrisy, reminding his followers that Biden “Endorsed an election denier in Georgia and smeared the state’s election reforms as Jim Crow is worse than Jim Crow. Have a seat.
In response to Biden’s claim that “Democracy is on the ballot this year,” Townhall.com senior editor Matt Vespa wrote, “No, it’s not. It’s the economy, and if you were fully functioning, you would know that it’s not.
David Harsanyi, senior editor at Federalist, tweeted: “Despicable speech by a despicable President.”

Joe Concha, Fox News contributor, tweeted that Biden spent most of his speech talking about GOP “Election Deniers” and not the economic issues driving voters to the polls. “It’s amazing that this is what the party has chosen as its closing argument heading in to a midterm. Every sane Democratic strategist will admit that it is about inflation, crime border, fentanyl education.”
He said, “This speech will only be energized the other side that much further.”
Conservatives condemned Biden’s speech because it did not address the issues Americans are concerned about, such as inflation and the economic system.
