Washington: Taking a jibe at former President Donald Trump and other Republicans who continue to spread lies about the 2020 election, US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that democracy in the country cannot be taken lightly, stressing that That the people have to defend democracy. With less than a week to go before the midterm election, the president made the case in a speech to the Democratic National Committee that “American democracy is under attack because the defeated former President of the United States has lost sight of the results of the 2020 election.” refused to accept it.”
Addressing the nation on the protection and defense of democracy, Joe Biden said, “We can’t take democracy for granted anymore,” he said, adding that “he (Trump) refused to accept the will of the people, he said the fact He refused to admit that he lost. He has abused his power and put loyalty to himself before loyalty to the Constitution. And he made a big lie to the Mega Republican Party, an outpouring of the faith of that party’s minority. The article has been made.”
“This intimidation, this violence against Democrats, Republicans and non-partisan officials just doing their job, is the result of lies, conspiracy and malice, told for power and profit, times to generate a cycle of anger.” -times lying, hate, vitriol and even violence,” Biden said while speaking at a Democratic National Committee event at Union Station near the Capitol.
Highlighting the dangers of democracy and political violence, Biden urged people to confront those lies with the truth, saying “the future of our nation depends on it.”
Recalling the violent attack on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi, Biden said, “After entering the assailant’s house, asking where is Nancy, where is Nancy, these were the same words used by the crowd in America. Had to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6. He kicked doors when he broke a window, brutally assaulted law enforcement, turned the Carters around… and raised a gallows to hang former Vice President Mike Pence. It was an angry mob that was killed in a frenzy. A president is repeating over and over again that the big lie that was stolen in the 20202 election is a lie that has fueled political violence and voter turnout over the past two years. There has been an alarming increase in bullying.
On January 6, 2021, a crowd of pro-Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol complex in Washington DC, as Congress was meeting to testify Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
He further noted that even before January 6, election officials and election workers in many states were subject to threatening calls, physical threats, even threats to their lives,” Republican states for example in Georgia. The secretary and his family were linked. They were threatened with death because they refused to break the law and refused to accept the demand of the defeated president, only to get 11,780 votes.”
President Biden concluded his remarks, emphasizing the election denial and the “harmful, corrosive and destructive” nature of political violence at 7.22 p.m. In his remarks, the president warned that “Republicans” have contributed to an environment where some Americans have developed an “appetite for autocracy.”
Referring to the attack on Paul Pelosi, President Biden said, “We don’t settle our differences with riots, or mobs, or bullets, or hammers.” “We arrange them peacefully in the ballot box.” President Biden said those willing to use violence to achieve political objectives are a “distinct minority” in the US, “but they are loud and they are determined.” Candidates who are prepared to refuse to accept the results of next week’s election, President Biden said, are “choosing the path of chaos in America.” “It’s unprecedented, it’s illegal, and it’s un-American,” Biden closed with a line drawn by his familiar John Meacham: “Fate if America’s soul is where it always is — with the people.”
