(DailyAnswer.org) – President Joe Biden recently made a remark toward the GOP that raised some eyebrows when he said the plan was to “beat the hell” out of Republicans in November.
Biden joined Vice President Kamala Harris for a rally on Thursday, Aug. 15, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, marking his first appearance since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Harris as his replacement as the Democratic candidate.
During his remarks to the crowd, Biden said he would show them what the Democrat’s version of Project 2025 is, adding that it’s to “beat the hell” out of the GOP. “I mean it!” Biden added, to which the crowd cheered in response.
Biden was referencing a conservative initiative from the Heritage Foundation called “Project 2025,” which was drawn up as a blueprint for what they want to see happen during a second Trump term in the White House. Democrats keep claiming that Trump is behind Project 2025 and championing the agenda, even though the former president has stated on numerous occasions that he has nothing to do with the blueprint, that he doesn’t support it, and that his campaign platform is the only official agenda for a second term.
Critics of the president quickly took to social media to rebuke Biden for the remark, claiming that if Trump had said the same thing, the media would be covering it for weeks. The X page for “Trump War Room,” which posts on behalf of the Trump campaign, called the comment “disgusting” and noted how the president made such a comment only a month after Trump was almost killed by an assassin’s bullet in Butler County, Pennsylvania, at a rally on July 13.
The account “Libs of Tiktok,” a popular conservative account run by political commentator Chaya Raichik, questioned whether or not Biden’s remark could be considered “a call to violence,” which is most likely what Trump would have been accused of had he said it.
Biden’s latest speech was at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday, Aug. 19, marking his last major speech until his final speech as president before leaving office in January 2025. During that address, he told the Democratic delegates and his party that he had given it his “best shot” before dropping out of the race and that serving as president was the highest “honor” in his life.
