Joe Biden tries to walk back dark speech: “I don’t consider any Trump supporter to be a threat”

President Joe Biden attempted Friday to rescind his dark speech of the previous night after he was criticised for portraying supporters of President Donald Trump, who were radical extremists that threatened the United States, with a lot of backlash.

” I don’t think any Trump supporters are a danger to the country,” Biden said when reporters asked him why he thought Trump and his followers were such a threat.

The president attempted to reduce his scope of who he was referring to when he stated that “Donald Trump” and the MAGA Republicans were a threat to our country’s very soul in Thursday’s speech at Independence Hall, Pennsylvania.

” I believe anyone calling for violence, and failing to condemn it when used, refuses to admit an election has taken place, insists on changing the rules – how you count votes,” said he. That is a serious threat to democracy. Democracy. We stand for .”

He said that it was not up to him to recognize when elections have been won and lost.
