Biden goes in on 'ultra-MAGA' Republicans

Source: Politico

— ON THE GOP: Perhaps the most notable comments came when Biden continued his recent trend of attacking his Republican opposition, again calling out by name Florida Sen. RICK SCOTT (who the president incorrectly said was from Wisconsin). Of Scott’s proposed GOP agenda, Biden said that “If I hadn’t seen it in writing, I’d think someone is making this up.”

He also admitted that he has been surprised by the state of the Republican Party: “I never expected the ultra-MAGA Republicans who seemed to control the Republican Party now. … I never anticipated that happening.”

Asked to respond to Scott’s prebuttal earlier today that Biden should resign and that he is “unfit” for office, the president said: “I think the man has a problem.” Scott also invited Biden to Florida for a debate on inflation. (Something tells us that won’t be happening.)

Expect that to become the next meme of Senile Joe bullcrap.

Why would the president lower himself to debate that fool not on a re-election debate? Prepare for the "Biden is afraid of Scott" RW memes too.

— ON INFLATION: “I know you’ve got to be frustrated,” Biden said. “Frustrated by high prices, by gridlock in Congress, by the time it takes to get anything done.”

Biden said his administration is taking steps to curb inflation, and lamented Congress’ lack of progress in enacting his agenda. “You justifiably are right, we control all three branches of government. We don't really,” Biden said. “I have been pushing the things I have been proposing here and you heard me speak to since I got in office. I need to get 60 votes to pass them.”
