Biden's Unhinged Big Lie

Excellent piece: but here's the punch line if you don't want to read it...

In a rambling and at times inaudible speech from Philadelphia, Biden claimed the January 6 Capitol rioters posed a greater threat to our nation that the Confederate forces of the Civil War, because at least the latter “never breached the Capitol.”
Biden continued to compare voter ID laws and other election integrity measures to “poll taxes and literacy tests, and the Ku Klux Klan campaigns of violence and terror that lasted into the ‘50s and '60s.”
Don’t worry. We’re not alarmed by the misguided actions of unarmed people on January 6. It was wrong what they did. But to claim it is worse than the actions of armed soldiers who declared war on their country is a lie. And to hold hundreds of people who largely are charged with misdemeanor offenses for more than four months — some in solitary confinement — is a much greater threat to our nation than anything done on January 6.

If Biden and the Democrats want to talk about The Big Lie, then let’s talk about this speech. This speech is the ultimate Big Lie. And it is a dangerous one because it justifies the use of government resources to squelch and attack political opponents.
