President Joe Biden on Friday went on the offense against Donald Trump during a speech in Pennsylvania, blaming the former president’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement for degrading the integrity of the United States.
“We arrived down the street, and there was a Trump banner with a ‘F. You’ on it,” Biden told supporters, who gathered at Strath Haven Middle School in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. “And a six year old kid putting up his middle finger.”
“No, I’m serious. Did you ever think you’d hear people talk the way they do?” the president continued. “Look, it demeans who we are. That’s not who America—That’s not America.”
Biden added that there was a difference “between those of us who want to pull American back into the past and those who want to move into the future. My lifetime has taught me to embrace the future.”
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
