A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that White House staff felt justified doing “undemocratic things” during his term in office because they believed President Donald Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy.
The revelation came during an appearance by Axios reporter Alex Thompson on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, where he discussed insider accounts from his reporting on the Biden administration. Thompson described a mindset inside the White House — one in which unelected aides saw themselves as the real decision makers while shielding Biden from scrutiny and managing the presidency behind the scenes.
“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson said.
Thompson also cited a quote from his reporting in which a longtime Biden aide openly admitted the president “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years.”

including sometimes doing undemocratic things...
Including Treasonous things?
It’s downright frightening that people like this person are given governmental responsibilities. LORD have mercy on us, and protect President Trump, in the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
The ends justify the means.
In order to save democracy, we must destroy democracy, nothing is off limits, quite like a deranged bunch of liberals who acted in place of the POTUS who was suffering from dementia and cancer.
They only care about the democrat’s dictatorship when they’re in power and when not in power the other guy is the dictator ,LOL
Interesting philosophy: “If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson said.
Exactly the words that Adolph Hitler used while justifying the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Today, it is “Free Palestine”, which is nothing more than a Communist organization.
Same drivers in the Federal Judiciary right now.
Bondi and Patel had better start prosecutions via grand juries from flyover regions. Don't base any prosecution out of Washington DC, Northern Virginia, or Maryland.
the left has bastardized the rule of law and now knows no way to remedy anything, except with violence.
their revolution will be short and fatal.
That’s the problem. Some people really believe that Trump is Hitler or worse.
If you believe that, then, obviously, you should do anything, to stop him!
I am not sure, how to convince these fanatics, that Trump is a friendly, older gentleman, with NO memory problems?
These arrogant bastards thought *THEY* had the right to decide what was a "threat to Democracy."
They are idiots, and don't know anything about Democracy, or rights, or the fact that we are a Republic, *NOT* a Democracy.
These idiots need to be punished severely with prison. How dare they take it upon themselves to play god with our lives?
Treason against the United States of America. The penalty is clear.
Threat to democracy means he will stop our gravy train.
The Nazis would give small people just enough power to feel big.
So what? They’re saying: “Do something about it, we dare you!”
Strongly worded letter is being drafted.
Leftists are an existential threat to peace and prosperity. Indeed, leftists are an existential threat to humanity. History proves that irrefutably.
Thereby proving, beyond a doubt, that THEY were the “existential threats” to democracy.
