White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was slammed Thursday for again arguing behind the White House podium that Americans who support Trump’s “MAGA agenda” are “extreme” and “attacking our democracy.”
“You know, when you ask me about the MAGA agenda, especially as it relates to Congress, relates to elected officials, it is one of the most extreme agendas that we have seen… it is the extreme part of the Republican Party,” Jean-Pierre said. She further claimed they “are threatening political violence and they are attacking our democracy.”
Several people took to Twitter to argue against Jean-Pierre’s statements.
Tim Young, a conservative activist, tweeted, “The ‘MAGA agenda’ is ‘one of the most extreme agendas that we have seen,’ say the people who last year wanted to ban you from all of society and the ability to make a living if you didn’t take a forced medical treatment.”
RNC Research tweeted, “Karine Jean-Pierre says the ‘MAGA agenda’ is ‘one of the most extreme agendas that we have seen.’ So the Biden administration considers border security, public safety, parental rights, and economic prosperity ‘extreme’?
“Fascinating that after a month of what the White House and media touted as big wins, Biden’s big midterm message is Trump. Could it be that raising taxes to buy people electric cars and transferring rich kids student debt to working families aren’t actually political winners?” said Republican communications specialist Matt Whitlock
Later, Jean-Pierre attacked pro-lifers and explained her definition of extremism, “Again, we see a majority of Americans who disagree, and so when you are not with what majority of Americans are, then you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking.”
“Since about 60% of the country disapproves of Biden… that means that everyone in the White House are the extremists,” Young said.
David Harsanyi, senior editor of The Federalist, responded, “This is an authoritarian and wholly un-American way of thinking.”
“This White House is dangerous,” Nicholas Fondacaro, an editor at Media Research Center, declaired.
Jill Savage, a BlazeTV contributor, tweeted, “Translated: if you don’t think how the state wants you to think, we will label you an extremist.”
Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., noted, “The majority of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance.”
Stephen Miller, contributing editor for The Spectator also pointed out, “Joe Biden’s current approval rating is 38%.”
President Biden is scheduled to deliver a political speech from the White House Thursday night, in which he is expected to similarly label his political opponents a threat to democracy.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris accuse republicans of “encouraging political violence.” It is a hypocritical argument given what democrats did to America in the year 2020.
During the 2020 riots, while cities were burning and $2 billion in property damage was being done by left-wing extremists, Kamala Harris said of the riots, “They’re not going to stop! Everyone beware! They’re not going to stop before election day in November.”
Conservative voters were intimidated. Violent leftist mobs were entering residential neighborhoods and there was fear they would be going door to door and demanding to know people’s political affiliations. Although only in Dem run states and cities.
At that point, nobody knew how far the left wing mobs would go or be permitted to go terrorizing citizens. Would Trump supporters be drug from their homes and beaten? Not in Conservative states, cities and towns. Gun sales skyrocketed in Dem run cities though.
Democrat governors and mayors stood back and allowed American cities to burn.
There were no good people in the streets during the riots. Good people would have left the scene when the arson and looting began so that police and fire crews could do their job. Left wing anarchists remained in the streets and defied police orders to give cover to the arsonists and looters.
The American public lives in fear that if the left doesn’t get its way there will be more rioting and destruction of property.
The mishandling of the 2020 riots and calls to defund the police spawned a crime wave. It sent a message that there are no consequences for criminal conduct.
Joe Biden’s false statements reinforcing the lie that 21st century America is systemically racist added fuel to the crime wave and deepened racial divisions.
When you deceive a class of people into believing that America is “systemically” rigged against them, as Biden and the democrats have done and continue to do, it gives criminals permission to steal. Those are “equity bags” the smash and grab thieves are putting merchandise in.
