Joe Biden delivers the most divisive demagogic speech in modern American history, demonizing half the country as opposed to democracy, liberty, and decency, while insisting he was only there to restore unity.

I, honest to God, never thought I would see something like this from Joe Biden.

From really any American president.

Last night, the president of the United States gave the most demagogic, dangerous speech I've ever heard from an American president, truly.

And a lot of people out there right now on the left side of the aisle screaming about Donald Trump in his January 6th speech. I really hated Donald Trump's January 6th speech. But what Donald Trump did not do in that speech is declare that half the country was the enemy. He did not declare that half the country was fundamentally opposed to the basis of the country. He attacked, I thought wrongly,

the quote-unquote politically lead to would skewed the election or whatever. But what he didn't

do was label half the country people who were just political opponents, his actual enemies.

He didn't actually do that on January 6th. And when he talked about the press as the enemies of the

people in all of this, the press went nuts. And I said he shouldn't have done that. But that was a talk about the press. That wasn't everybody

who opposes my agenda deserves the back of the American hand. The president, and all of this

in the name of democracy and equality, it was insane. I want to begin with the image of the speech. This is going to be the takeaway image. Most people are not going to see the speech. Most people are not going to listen to the speech. There's going to be one takeaway image from the speech. Presidential politics is all about image. It's all about imagistics. Whether you're talking about President Trump getting out of a helicopter and taking off his mask in the middle of COVID, or whether you are talking about Barack Obama standing on a giant

stage flanked by the Greek Parthenon recreated in 2008. When you look at this image, the image

that you're seeing right now of Joe Biden, this is the single worst piece of presidential

image making I have ever seen in my entire life. It is not close.

This is an astonishingly bad image for the president of the United States, especially when he's

declaring, I'm here in defensive democracy, and now I'm going to yell at you about how everyone

who opposes me is an enemy of democracy. Let's count the ways in which this is a horrible piece of...

I mean, first of all, let's compare it to some other images,

just so you see how bad a piece of imagery this is.

It's insane.
