(CNSNews.com) - President Biden, some Democrats, and their media allies are not just attacking Republican politicians -- they're going after voters as well, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Wednesday, the day before Biden's next political speech, this one to be aired in prime time.
Biden tonight will discuss his version of "the soul of the nation," a phrase of vague meaning that he's been using since before he became president.
"There's two things happening here," Rubio told Fox News:
"The first is, they're criminalizing opposition and dehumanizing their opposition. So this is what they've been doing now for a while."If you recall last year when they were doing this fake voter rights thing -- there is no voter crisis in Georgia, for example -- he (Biden) gave a speech basically saying that anyone who didn't support the bill they wanted was a Jim Crow segregationist, which is absolutely outrageous and absurd.
"Then we saw the attacks against the Supreme Court, basically calling them illegitimate -- that these weren't real judges. And we saw a guy come halfway across the country and try to kill a Supreme Court justice in Brett Kavanaugh. We've seen churches vandalized, we've seen pro-life groups being attacked and firebombed.
"The next thing you see is, any criticism -- you know, you criticize the FBI, you get all these news stories about unprecedented threats to the FBI. You criticize the IRS, couple days later, the IRS is saying, oh we're now being threatened.
"In essence, they've now establish this shield where if you criticize them, they will claim that you're putting them in danger. They, on the other hand, do not criticize Republicans. They try to dehumanize, defame and smear Republicans by calling -- not Republican officeholders, Republican voters, everyday people -- by calling them semi-fascists.
"Last week in Florida, Charlie Crist, running for governor once again here, said he didn't want the support of anyone who had voted or supported Ron DeSantis, which is the majority of the state.
"This is the distinction here, they're not attacking political leaders alone, they are attacking voters, which in Florida, is the majority of voters, because Donald Trump won the state by four points."
President Biden has been insulting Republican voters -- anyone who supports President Trump and his policies -- as "MAGA Republicans," and more recently, as semi-fascists.
“It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism,” Biden told an audience in Rockville, Maryland last week.
He told that same audience, "The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security, they’re a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace — embrace — political violence. They don’t believe in democracy."
Let us not forget that Biden got to define what Black means: "If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black!"
Now Joe Burden gets to define "the soul of the nation", which is funny, because he has no soul.

I know they're lying, goes with the territory. And you are accusing anybody who does speak up for free speech is a lunatic republican, which may unfortunately be true, since the democrats are trying to censor all of social media as purveyors of "misinformation" and "hate speech" etc. Goes to show that only independents believe in free speech, but we don't talk about them. I have to give all of you kudos for keeping them off the map.

That's some funny shit right there, Monkey. The Dumbocrat has been at ~30% approval for months - one poll says 35, another says 31, another says whatever. Read an article this morning, anticipating Dems crowing over that approval improvement. But - even on a pro-Democrat run poll, your golden boy is still hated by more than half of the country.
