House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) aimed to pre-but Biden’s remarks, delivering his own speech in the president’s hometown of Scranton, Pa., some 125 miles north of Philadelphia, calling on him to apologize “for slandering tens of millions of Americans as ‘fascists.’”
McCarthy, who wants to be speaker if Republicans capture the House in November, suggested that life would be better for Americans under a GOP majority, attacking Biden and Democrats on immigration and over COVID-19 restrictions while attempting to turn the president’s critique back on him.
“In the past two years, Joe Biden has launched an assault on the soul of America, on its people, on its laws, on its most sacred values,” McCarthy said. “He has launched an assault on our democracy. His policies have severely wounded America’s soul, diminished America’s spirit and betrayed America’s trust.”
Promising to utilize the majority’s oversight authority to investigate the Biden administration should Republicans control the House, McCarthy stuck to the GOP’s partisan line, suggesting that the FBI’s investigation of Trump is purely political — even after Trump, in a series of messages on his social media platform, admitted to possessing the sensitive material that belongs to the government.
“Joe Biden often says our democracy is under threat. He’s right, but not for the reason he thinks,” McCarthy said. “Joe Biden and a politicized DOJ launched a raid on the home of his top political rival, Donald Trump. That is an assault on democracy.”
