On Monday evening, President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Trump v. United States, a 6-3 decision which found that presidents has immunity when acting in what the Court stressed was their official capacity.
In case there was any doubt how he felt, the president screeched that he agreed with Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent, declaring "I dissent!" That doesn't mean Biden wasn't prone to some truly hypocritical points in his remarks, which were very clearly prewritten by someone else and which he read directly from as he spoke.
"Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do," Biden claimed at the start, lamenting a case which, again, makes clear that the president is only immune when acting in an official capacity.
What Biden left out is how Trump urged those at the Capitol that day to protest peacefully.
The Trump War Room account also posted such reminders while Biden was speaking, as well as reminded how footage was unearthed last month of then Speaker Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility for a lack of preparedness on that day.
Biden then went to make the issue about the election between himself and Trump, with the latter continuing to lead in the polls, especially after last Thursday's disastrous debate performance.
" After bringing President George Washington into this, Biden claimed that after the Trump v. United States decision, "it'll depend on the character of the men and women who hold that presidency that are going to define the limits of the power of the presidency, because the law will no longer do it.
