Deroy Murdock:
Vulgar. Disgusting. Repugnant.
These are three of the more charitable adjectives that describe President Joe Biden’s execrable speech on Tuesday.
He flew to Atlanta to promote so-called “voting rights” legislation. H.R. 5746, the 719-page Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, would nationalize state election laws and seize those sovereign powers from the 50 legislatures that heretofore have defined the “Times, Places, and Manner” of their vote systems, per Article One, Section Four of the U.S. Constitution. Biden’s beloved bill would codify many of the dangerous measures that “temporarily” loosened ballot security in 2020, as COVID-19 terrorized America.
Biden could have sold this pernicious measure with grace, charm, and persuasion. He could have laced his words with honey. Instead, Biden bombed a vinegar factory.
“Do you want to be on the side of Dr. [Martin Luther] King or George Wallace?” Biden asked, as he stank it up. “Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?” Biden forgot to mention that all three of those on the wrong side of history were Democrats.
