FULL SPEECH: Biden delivers address outside Independence Hall on 'extremist threat to democracy'

President Joe Biden warned Thursday night that "equality and democracy are under assault" in the U.S. as he sounded an alarm about his predecessor, Donald Trump, and "MAGA Republican" adherents, labeling them an extremist threat to the nation and its future.

Aiming to reframe the November elections as part of a battle for the nation's soul - "the work of my presidency," Biden used his prime-time speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to argue that Trump and "Make America Great Again" allies are a challenge to nation's system of government, its standing abroad and its citizens' way of life.

This is the government our Founding Fathers warned us about .

[joaquincanals]

I never thought I would see an American President tell me that I am a threat to the US and a threat to the Constitution.

[RGAMBLER]

☝🏻 This is the government
our Founding Fathers warned us about.

[ctbsancho]

This is the type of government our forefathers gave us the second amendment for.

And that’s how it works..they pit people against each other, it’s much easier to control people when they are too busy fighting amongst themselves. As long as we let them treat us like lambs we will never be free.

[chadhawkins]

Everything he said the democrats did! But he blames conservatives! And WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY WE ARE A

[billypacaccio]

this speech is the literal definition of double speech. everything he accuses others of doing are the exact things he is guilty of

[joea]

He’s asking the nation to come together, except for half of us.

[FOBob-srfd]

Right out of "V." The chancellor speaks.

[ro]

He sullied the legacy of that building.

[jonathanbridges]

He basically just declared war on half of America. This speech just fueled the flame of division.

[hunchanchoc]

Did anybody manage to count how many times he said "democracy" ? Oh the irony. 'Fortified'.

[DeathValleyLumberCompany]

Probably the greatest republican advertisement I’ve ever seen

[hillaryilinsky]

i'm a veteran as was my father and for biden, a five time draft dodger, to say we're a threat to america makes my blood boil.

[DanTheMano]

Just so we’re clear, the problem in this country is the marriage between corporations and government. And a rogue military industrial complex. And the wealth being in the hands of a tiny few that have purchased the government.
Was never left v right, was always upper v lower.

[Sirskordie]

Call half the country dangerous to democracy. Then ask for all of us to unite to protect democracy. Seems legit

[bobwilliams]

Our government is so dangerously out of touch with the people. Good luck everyone; it's going to be a wild ride.
