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.

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

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.
