During a lecture about accessible healthcare in Virginia Beach, Biden made the remarks.
“While there are a lot of incredibly outstanding Republicans, my strategy stands in stark contrast because MAGA Republicans are a different breed of cat. They are not evil or excellent; they are simply quite different. In my opinion, there are basically two Republican parties. And I’ve served a long time, “added Biden.
Biden used the speech to accuse Republicans of putting health care programs “on the chopping block” ahead of the White House rolling out his budget proposal.
In a speech on September 1, 2022, Biden stated that “President Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the fundamental underpinnings of our Republic.” “The Constitution is not respected by MAGA Republicans. They reject the idea of the rule of law. The people’s will is ignored by them. The outcomes of a fair election are not acceptable to them.”
His remarks come at a time when Democrats and Republicans are attempting to agree on spending priorities ahead of a deadline to increase the debt ceiling.
On September 2, 2022, Fox News’ Peter Doocy challenged Biden, who responded that Trump backers aren’t a “danger” to the United States.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,” Biden said. “The Constitution is not respected by MAGA Republicans. They reject the idea of the rule of law. The people’s will is ignored by them. The outcomes of a fair election are not acceptable to them.”
During the speech, Biden also said he was “pleased” to see “so many” Republicans stand up when he said “Some Republicans want Social Security and Medicare to sunset” during the State of the Union.
“Maybe they found religion on Social Security, Medicare. I sure hope so. All kidding aside. But I believe when I see it,” Biiden said of Republicans.
