There’s panic on the left as the midterms are nearly here and early voting shows voters aren’t riding the Roe wave as Democrats had thought. While the majority of Americans are struggling under inflation Democrats are spending wildly, essentially dumping more cash into the market and driving down the value of the dollar.
A whimpering MSNBC anchor, Jonathan Capehart cried to Biden, “Mr. President, I’m scared”. Even lifelong Democrats are announcing their intentions to vote Republican to help fight the looming downfall of the American economy. Voters are more concerned with the obvious inflation issue, crime, and immigration than they are with trying to make abortion a national issue and Democrats have every reason to be afraid. They didn’t run a campaign based on actual voters’ concerns, and it shows.
Capehart began by attacking Republican Governors with high approval ratings, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
“We’re seeing everything, from Governor DeSantis’ election police force, arresting people for alleged violations of voter fraud. We’re seeing election workers quitting because of threats,” he claimed. “And then on top of it, you’ve got election deniers up and down the ballot running for election, a good chunk of them could win.”
He then asked Biden directly, “So, why shouldn’t we be scared?”
“Well, I think we should be concerned. Look, there’s nothing automatic about democracy. Remember, when you’re in undergraduate school, they talk about every generation has to protect democracy,” he said. He then appeared to suggest that this political moment is one of those cases where democracy itself weighs in the balance.
Of course, Biden took a moment to attack voters who support the ‘America First’ mentality, the ‘evil’ MAGA crowd.
“Well, it really does, and I think we’re at one of those inflection points in history where we’ve reached a point where there has been such a division that you have what I call the ‘Mega MAGA Republicans’ who are – think that it’s alright to threaten violence, think it’s – that’s not inappropriate – talk about how they are concerned about security. But yet you saw what happened on January 6, the whole world saw it. But I think there’s reason for concern,” he said.
Biden said he is “optimistic” about two things, however.
“Number one, we’ve been here before. And I believe that the essence of who we are as a nation, the soul of our country, is really about our commitment to the basic fundamental elements that make us Americans, which is the idea of fairness, decency, honesty, and I think is baked in to the majority of the American people,” Biden said. “And I think as long as we take seriously the threat, I don’t think the threat can come to fruition.”
Capehart also asked, “Can our democracy survive when the Republican Party is — it only cares about power?”
Biden then painted the GOP as cancer, warning that Republicans “continue to metastasize into what a minority of the party as a whole is.” He later assessed that the modern GOP does not have a platform “other than tear down what I have been able to do.”
At another point in the interview, Biden was asked what would happen if Republicans managed to “take control of Congress” in the upcoming election. Here is where you need to take notes…
Biden responded that he would “veto anything they do.”
He added, “They have to — for them to make Dobbs — for them to outlaw Roe, outlaw the right of a woman to make a choice with their doctor, to not make exceptions for rape and incest and et cetera, and pass it out of the Congress to make it the law of the land, the president has to sign it, I’ll veto it.”
Watch
The most interesting part of this interview is the fact that Biden vowed to veto anything the Republicans pass, once in office. Ironic, really. The man who claims that Republicans are ‘threatening Democracy’ vows to overpower the people’s rightfully elected officials like a dictator.
