    ROFLOL I hope the people who enjoyed the fact that #45 wasn't "Presidential" can appreciate this more blunt version of President
    Biden. I'm certainly enjoying the hell out of it.

    "White House: Lindsey Graham just proved Biden's 'semi-fascism' claim is correct"

    "The White House says U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's threat of "riots in
    the streets" should the Dept. of Justice decide to prosecute Donald
    Trump proves President Joe Biden's label of "semi-fascism" for the "MAGA Republicans" is correct.

    "We have seen MAGA Republicans attack our democracy. We have seen MAGA Republicans take away our rights. Make threats of violence, including
    this weekend, and that is what the President was referring to when you
    all asked me last week about the 'semi-fascism' comment," White House
    Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a reporter Monday (video below)
    when asked about Sen. Graham's threat.

    President Biden "was clear, not all Republicans," Jean-Pierre stressed.

    "There are some mainstream Republicans he mentioned, governor of
    Maryland Larry Hogan, and talked about him and what he's been doing."

    "But we have seen these MAGA extreme Republicans making these kinds of comments, which is, which is dangerous. And and this is what we are
    talking about," she said, "when President Biden was making his comments
    last week."

    "Look, this is a president that believes when you are President of the
    United States, it is your duty, it is your responsibility to have the
    strongest voice we have when it comes to democracy, when speaking about democracy. And that's what you're going to continue to hear from this President."

    Sunday evening in what some, including legal experts saw as a clear
    threat, Sen. Graham declared, "If there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump
    for mishandling classified information ... there’ll be riots in the streets.”

    Thursday night at a Maryland rally President Biden infuriating the right
    told supporters, "It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

    “The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and
    economic security,” Biden said. “They’re a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace political
    violence. They don’t believe in democracy.”"
