Biden Gets Roasted After Making Nuke Threat To American Citizens
The controversial comments that President Joe Biden made Wednesday regarding Americans who buy firearms to protect themselves against a dictatorial government drew a lot of criticism. Critics pointed out that Biden’s comments counter the narrative that Democrats or the media created about the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.
“The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own,” Biden said. “You couldn’t buy a cannon. [Those who] say the blood of patriots, you know, and all this stuff about how we’re going to have to move against the government.”
“Well, the tree of liberty is not [watered with] the blood of patriots, what’s happened is that there never been, if you want, if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,” Biden continued. “The point is that there’s always been the ability to limit, rationally limit, the type of weapon that can be owned, and who can own it.”
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald responded to a tweet that showed Biden’s remarks from Wednesday next to remarks that he made earlier this year when responding to the riot. Biden said regarding the riot, “Our democracy is under unprecedented assault.”
Drew Holden, journalist, wrote that “you cannot believe both these things to be true simultaneously.”
“Precisely,” Greenwald responded. “Biden’s mockery of the citizenry – you think you can threaten the US Govt with guns? You need F-15s and nukes for that – shows how moronic is the depiction of a few hundred MAGA protesters as a threat to the stability of history’s most militarized and armed government.”

Precisely. Biden's mockery of the citizenry – you think you can threaten the US Govt with guns?
