Previewing Joe Biden’s speech Wednesday night ahead of next week’s midterms, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters the president sought to warn voters of “an alarming number of Republican officials” who are “being very clear they’re not going to accept the results of these elections.”
She offered no examples to back her claim as polls indicate a growing “red wave” in which Republicans are competitive in many Democratic strongholds and are poised to regain the House and the Senate.
Most voters, according to surveys, say inflation is their chief concern. But Biden, at the Columbus Club at Union Station near the Capitol on Wednesday evening, insisted democracy itself is on the ballot.
A vote for Republicans, he said, is a vote for “the dark forces that thirst for power.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“We’re facing a defining moment,” said Biden. “We must with one overwhelming, unified voice speak, as a country and say there’s no place for voter intimidation or political violence in America.”
The president said it’s estimated that more than 300 Republican “election deniers are on the ballot all across America this year.”
“This is not about me. … It’s about the durability of our democracy,” he said.
See the speech:
White House communications adviser Anita Dunn explained Wednesday morning that the venue for the speech was Capitol Hill “because that’s where there was an attempt to subvert our democracy,” referring to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Dunn brought up the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi last week by a man whose statements to authorities demonstrated signs of severe mental illness.
“Obviously we’ve seen horrible things happen quite recently – the speaker’s husband,” she said in Washington, DC.
The host of the speech, the Democratic National Committee, said the Union Station speech was about “preserving and protecting our democracy” and “the threat of election deniers and those who seek to undermine faith in voting and democracy.”
In a primetime speech Sept. 1 at Independence Hall, Biden – flanked by U.S. Marine Corps in a ghoulish, red-lit background – Biden sounded a similar theme.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” the visibly angry president declared.
The president said the “MAGA Republicans,” are “determined to take this country backward,” charging they “promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence.”
‘Mega MAGA Republicans’
At the White House briefing Wednesday, Jean-Pierre said in her opening remarks that Biden has talked about the nation “being at an inflection point.”
“He has been clear, democracy is under assault and we cannot pretend otherwise,” she said.
The Biden spokeswoman said the president “will continue to call attention to the threat to democratic integrity and to public safety posed by those who deny the documented truth about election results and those who seek to undermine public faith in our system of government.”
“Unfortunately,” she continued, “we have seen mega MAGA Republican officials who don’t believe in the rule of law.”
Jean-Pierre said these officials “refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections, and they fan the flames of political violence through what they praise and what they refuse to condemn.”
‘Election denier’ Karine Jean-Pierre
One of the “election deniers” the White House undoubtedly had in mind was the Republican nominee for governor in Arizona, Kari Lake. On the campaign trail this month, a reporter brought up the issue, and Lake was prepared.
“Let’s talk about election deniers,” she said. “Here’s 150 examples of Democrats denying election results.”
Lake, noting Democrats have been challenging the legitimacy of election outcomes since 2000, read from a list of quotes that included Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, who is running for governor again in Georgia after insisting the results of her first attempt were illegitimate.
Lake also cited Jean-Pierre herself stating “remember Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.”
“A Democrat was saying that. Is that an election denier?” Lake asked the reporters.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America’s currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
