Biden made more shocking and defamatory comments about his political opponents, who appear to be ready to take the two political chambers that could defang him as POTUS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Fox News, Conservatives ridiculed Biden\u2019s &#8220;despicable&#8221; Wednesday speech in which he warned midterm voters of the threats to &#8216;democracy&#8217; ahead of Election Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s &#8220;Big Lie&#8221; about the 2020 election and engaged in voter intimidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Rather than focusing on the main issues voters are most concerned about, namely rampant inflation and other economic woes, Biden\u2019s speech pointed the finger at his political opponents. He noted the assault against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s husband, Paul Pelosi, decrying the violence and misinformation supposedly fostered by extremist Republicans,&#8221; Fox News reported..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Washington Times reported with more details about the original speech: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Biden on Wednesday made his closing campaign pitch to voters for next week\u2019s midterm election, warning that \u201cdark forces\u201d within the Republican Party are trying to subvert democracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking from Union Station, which stands in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, Mr. Biden said the threat of a Jan. 6-style insurrection was smoldering within the GOP and stoked by candidates allied with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said those \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d \u2014 who he said were a minority in the GOP \u2014 were on \u201ca path to chaos\u201d that posed a grave threat to American democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president appealed for Americans to vote in next week\u2019s election saying it was critical to preserving democracy. He cautioned against backing election deniers on the ballot, saying \u201cit is damaging, it is corrosive, and it\u2019s destructive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is no ordinary year,\u201d Mr. Biden said. \u201cIn a typical year, we are not often faced with the question of whether the vote we cast will preserve democracy or put it at risk. But we are this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel panned Mr. Biden\u2019s speech as \u201cdesperate and dishonest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Joe Biden<\/a>&nbsp;promised unity but has instead demonized and smeared Americans while making life more expensive for all. While Republicans remain focused on the issues that matter most to voters,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;and Democrats are flailing in the final days because they have lost touch with the concerns of families struggling to get by,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">she<\/a>&nbsp;said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The location for the president\u2019s address was chosen to remind voters of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol when a pro-Trump mob stormed the building trying to stop the certification of Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>\u2019s 2020 election win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;kicked off&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">his<\/a>&nbsp;speech by drawing a direct line between the Jan. 6 riot to an assailant\u2019s violent attack on Paul Pelosi last week. Mr. Pelosi, who is married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, suffered serious injuries, including a skull fracture, after the assailant invaded his home in San Francisco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president said former Mr. Trump and his allies\u2019 endless denial of the nation\u2019s 2020 election results fueled the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe big lie that the election of 2020 had been stolen \u2014 it is a lie that fueled the dangerous rise of political violence and voter intimidation over the past two years,\u201d Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remarks were part of a political event hosted by the Democratic National Committee and not an official White House speech. It echoed many of the same points Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;has been making for weeks, starting with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">his<\/a>&nbsp;prime-time speech in Philadelphia where&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">he<\/a>&nbsp;railed against \u201cMAGA Republicans.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">He<\/a>&nbsp;repeated many of the same themes at a speech Tuesday in Florida and the Wednesday speech in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;has repeatedly warned of the threat posed by election deniers and extremists in the run-up to the midterms, but that message has not resonated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans are surging in the closing days of the election season as inflation, the economy, and crime have emerged as voters\u2019 top concerns. It is widely expected that Republicans will regain control of the House and possibly the Senate on Nov. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe scare tactics and fear-mongering aren\u2019t working,\u201d said Jimmy Keady, a Republican strategist. \u201cVoters are fed up with the economy, crime, and open border and I don\u2019t think anything&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;does in the next six days is going to matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf agreed that Mr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;casting himself and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">his<\/a>&nbsp;party as protectors of democracy is not resonating with voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">Biden<\/a>&nbsp;is talking about it because it takes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">him<\/a>&nbsp;away from the problems that are facing the nation right now, which are the cost of gas, the cost of food, and the sense that things are out of control. Talking about those issues reminds people that this situation occurred under&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">his<\/a>&nbsp;presidency when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">he<\/a>&nbsp;had the most power to alleviate it,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/joe-biden\/\">he<\/a>&nbsp;said.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A New York Times-Siena College poll released last month found that American voters overwhelmingly (71%) agree that democracy is under threat, but only a few ranked it as a major issue this election. The poll showed that it is voters\u2019 third-highest concern after inflation and the economy. Only 7% of voters ranked it as a major issue for this election cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat Joe Biden delivered another manic address to the nation to make his case that only his tyrannical supporters should have any government power or authority.
