Psaki Says Biden Stands by Voting Rights Speech Comparing GOP to Segregationists
President Joe Biden stands by his outrageous comment last week comparing Republicans to racists and segregationists. Well, that is, specifically those who are opponents of Democrats’ ridiculous voting bills.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday called Biden’s speech that he delivered in Atlanta a “powerful speech” about Americans’ right to vote “for anyone they choose, whether it is him or someone else.” She also claimed it “was not a partisan speech.”
Psaki added “it was intended to lay out for the public exactly what’s at stake and lay out for elected officials what’s at stake and he stands by everything he said in that speech.”
Heated debate over voting rights is plaguing Atlanta politics. National Review reports:
Biden was attempting to gin up support for the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The former would federalize some facets of elections, including setting a 15-day minimum early-voting period and setting national standards for voter-ID laws to include a range of documentation. The latter would restore portions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that allowed the Justice Department to review election-rule changes in districts with a history of discrimination.
During his speech, Biden said: ‘So I ask every elected official in America, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?”
Even Democratic senator Dick Durbin of Illinois admitted Biden might have gone “a little too far in his rhetoric.” Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called the speech “profoundly, profoundly unpresidential.”
“Look, I’ve known, liked and personally respected Joe Biden for many years. I did not recognize the man at the podium yesterday” said McConnell.

Judge orders Biden’s DHS to release files on agents accused of censoring election ‘misinformation’
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry made headway in countering federal agents involved in suppressing what liberal tech labeled “misinformation” on social media.
The Attorneys General moved to release testimony from five Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees after learning of their participation in the Biden administration’s counter-“disinformation” efforts. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the files.
Court documents dated Jan. 19 show the agents participated. The judge’s motion Wednesday could shed light on a “switchboarding” tactic employed during the 2020 election, according to the order.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, which include the named individuals as well as President Joe Biden and top officials from a variety of federal agencies, “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content “dis-information,” “mis-information,” and “mal-formation.”
The Daily Caller reports that the five CISA employees allegedly served as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor disinformation to various social media companies, according to the documents.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday.
“They couldforward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social mediacompanies.”
UPDATE: The judge granted our motion to compel. CISA has 14 days to comply. https://t.co/2bhwQQJTG6

How much longer will the Democrats push the racist attitude that blacks aren’t capable of obtaining simple ID’s?

I still have difficulty just watching Joe articulate and pontificate on any topic because of his poor history of explaining “Joey Facts” and not “Reality Facts”. He needs new writers because whoever he is using it’s just getting OLD OLD OLD ( including the guy reading this stuff at the podium but that is a entirely different story ) Doesn’t it seem when you continue to watch him his story telling style is as old as his political career. Bleeeeeh

Election is a scam! Only Sovereign citizen had a jurisdiction or territory globally. Government is a crown corporation a foreign entity from London or Europe like D.C. District of Columbia not belong to a 5 territory in America. Vote is volt. Electric is election. Watchers is watts. To vote is to give your power.
