Biden gives MAGA Republicans a new name - 'Trumpies' - and calls heckler an 'idiot' who is 'destroying democracy': President launches latest attack on 'extreme right' in Wisconsin Labor Day speech

President Joe Biden rolled out a new nickname for MAGA Republicans on Labor Day during a lively speech where he also walked back comments suggesting Donald Trump's supporters believe in 'semi-fascism.'

During his speech in Wisconsin on Monday, the president denounced the former president's followers as 'Trumpies' and claimed politicians on the 'extreme right' of the GOP are 'coming for your social security' and destroying worker pensions.

At one point Biden was interrupted by a heckler - though he told Secret Service to 'let him go.'

'Everybody's entitled to be an idiot,' the president said to scattered laughter.

And despite clarifying early on that 'not every Republican is a MAGA Republican,' he later painted the critic and his ilk as working to 'destroy democracy.'

'The biggest contrast from what MAGA Republicans, the extreme right...the Trumpies...these MAGA Republicans in Congress are coming for your Social Security as well,' Biden said.

The 79-year-old leader has ratcheted up his rhetoric against the former president and his allies in recent days, ever since making a fiery debut on the midterm campaign trail in Bethesda, Maryland late last month.

It was at a private event with donors there that the president compared MAGA Republican beliefs to semi-fascism, earning instant backlash from all factions on the right.

Walking those comments back on Monday, he said: 'I want to be very clear up front. Not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know, because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career.'

He was very angry today

Of course he is.
Nothing's working.
Not his attempt at inciting riots.
Not his attempts to demonize MAGA.
Not the stolen election.
Not the J6 Committee.
Not even the J6 committee in primetime.
J6 Chairwoman lost her seat in Congress.
Not the raid on Trump.
Not even their "successful August" < /sarcasm >.

And to top it Trump still has the (declassified) evidence of treason on all of them.

Trumpies...oooo good one.

I can see the meeting of the gay nerds in the White House in my mind's eye....

Sissified man: "'MAGA Republicans' isn't playing well. The internet saysth we need to attack the man himself and not the people. Whadda we do girlsth?".

Bull-dagget lesbian of color: "I know. How about 'Trumpies'. It has a 'Trumpian' troll ring to it. Polling suggests it'll go viral on our social media arm and our bots can make memes. Plus I'm black.".

The rest of the mutants: "Harumph, harumph.".

Biden supporters = Bidophiles.

I don’t listen to a scumbag who repeatedly molested his own daughter and forced her to shower with him

OK, we know FJB didn’t come up with “Trumpies”. There was a meeting somewhere where the dem deep-thinkers are trying to come up with a word or phrase that will destroy/humiliate Trump and his supporters. “Deplorables” was tried and failed and in the last few weeks “Mega-MAGA” was run up the flag pole, but nobody saluted. “Semi-Fascist” and “Threat to our democracy” didn’t seem to do all that well either.

So now we’re ‘Trumpies’. I’m surprised they didn’t use ‘Trumpists’, which sounds a bit more threatening. Oh well, I’m sure the dozens of labor activists who attended applauded on cue.

Biden goes to Wisconsin to give a Labor Day speech. Which makes me wonder—did Biden ever do an honest day’s work at a real job? (Raking in a salary from public office doesn’t count.)

and claimed politicians on the ‘extreme right’ of the GOP are ‘coming for your social security’...

Not that ancient chestnut.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Get your vanity plates now. Only one “Trumpie” per state but some variations that look like it, too.

[skeeter]

The left does not understand conservatives at all. They think we’re attracted to screaming politicians, quaking with rage, just for its own sake.

As hard as it may be for them to believe, we actually have thought our own opinions through and are looking for someone to actually intelligently represent us.

But as long as they keep up with the stupid caricatures they’ll never get it. Let Biden continue to make a fool of himself.

The hecklers need to get under Zhous skin. Get him off script and out of control.

[colorado tanker]

So, Brandon just said again what he said in Philly and denied saying the next day?

[Parley Baer]

So, now it is Trumpies. Whatever Joe.

Perfect!
