Protesters welcomed President Joe Biden to Culpeper, Virginia, with
shouts of ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’ on Thursday.
The president’s motorcade traveled to Culpeper for Biden to deliver
a speech at a local community college about reducing health care
costs through his Build Back Better agenda.
But he was greeted by the group of protesters who flew flags reading
“Joe Biden Sucks” and “FJB” according to reporters who traveled with the president.
Another sign read “Build Crack Better,” presumably referring to
reports about the Biden administration funding “safe smoking kits”
for drug users.
Biden will be joined by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who
represents a more moderate district and faces a tough reelection
fight in November.
The president is trying to focus on individual provisions in his
Build Back Better agenda after it effectively died in the Senate.
His event Thursday will focus on reducing the cost of prescription
drugs and insulin.
Biden was also joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier
Bacerra, who was recently criticized within the administration for
his passive approach to the coronavirus pandemic.
The president promoted Obamacare during his visit, promising to do
more to pay for drugs and health care for Americans after raising
taxes on the wealthy.
Biden spoke about his personal experience with the health care
system as he suffered multiple brain aneurysms and watched his son
Beau Biden die of cancer.
“I’ve long said that health care should be a right, not a privilege
in this country,” he said.
Biden also spoke about inflation after reports revealed that
consumer prices are up 7.5 percent from January 2021, the worst
inflation since 1982.
“Inflation is up,” Biden admitted, promoting his idea to help pay
more for health care and child care in order to reduce costs for
families so they can afford other things.
“I know food prices are up. We’re going to bring them down,” he
promised.
