President Joe Biden walked back his attacks on Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters, saying on Friday he doesn’t consider ‘any Trump supporter a threat to the country.’
‘I don’t consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country,’ the president said at the White House.
It was a contrast to his remarks on Thursday night when, in a primetime address on the threat to democracy, he said Trump and his supporters were a threat to the republic.
Republicans slammed Biden’s speech as divisive while Trump said Biden was ‘insane.’
Biden toned down his tough talk on Friday, defending supporters of the former president. In response to a question after an event on federal manufacturing grants, Biden said Trump supporters weren’t voting for violence.
He said the 74 million people who voted for Trump ‘weren’t voting for attacking the capital. They weren’t voting for overruling the election. They were going for a philosophy he put forward.’
He did condemn the Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol in the January 6th insurrection and those who attempted to overturn the 2020 election results.
He insisted his speech was directed at those who attacked democracy.
‘I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn violence when it’s used, refuses to acknowledge an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which we rule and count votes, that is a threat to democracy. Democracy. Everything we stand for, everything we stand for rests on the platform of democracy,’ he said.
‘So I am not talking about anything other than it is inappropriate. And it’s not only happening here, but other parts of the world with failure to recognize and condemn violence whenever it’s used for those purposes, failure to condemn the attempt to manipulate an electrical outcomes, failure to acknowledge when elections were won or lost.’
From the walk back, talking about the election:
“failure to condemn the attempt to manipulate an electrical outcomes,”
Freudian slip?
Well that's pretty much all of MAGA, so...
