President JoeBiden's 'unity' event muddled by divisive politics
President Joe Biden is holding on to the hope that he will be the harbinger of a more united country despite describing "MAGA Republicans" as subscribers of"semifascism" and threats to democracy.
"Biden should call for unity right after the Republicans take back the Congress and then move aggressively to the political center," Feehery told the Washington Examiner."We are two months before an election that Democrats are most likely to lose, so for him to call for unity now is obviously a political ploy and ... will be seen as such by most voters."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre similarly dismissed a Washington Post reporter who implied Thursday before Biden's appearance at the summit that his"MAGA Republicans" rhetoric had contributed to disunity. "A threat to democracy can almost be defined by saying: If you call for political violence or you defend it and you don't allow for the legitimate transfer of power, that's when democracy is at risk," he said."That's why those who love this country — Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans — we've got to be stronger, more determined, more committed to saving American democracy than the extreme MAGA Republicans are to destroying American democracy.
