Even David French says President Biden's 'voting rights' speech in Atlanta was 'unbelievably inflammatory'

We were originally going to do a post on the fact-checks of President Joe Biden’s claim Tuesday in Atlanta that he’d been arrested during the civil rights movement, but a search of Twitter pulled up nothing. We were also thinking of following up on the fact-checks of his claim that it’s illegal to give people in line to vote water — something Rep. Ted Lieu proved was a lie in a top-tier self-own. But to our surprise, a search of Twitter didn’t turn up anything. We guess the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler isn’t going to start the lie counter back up.

Biden’s speech was also pretty incendiary, considering the speech he’d given on January 6 taking shots at Donald Trump and Republicans in general. Remember all the talk about “unity” during the campaign?

Biden was pandering to a mostly black audience, and even Never Trumper David French thought his speech was “unbelievably inflammatory,” recalling past racist remarks Biden has made, like his infamous “put y’all back in chains” line.

Joe Biden's speech yesterday was filled with misleading comparisons, cheap demagoguery & false claims. The worst of his presidency – from the guy who claimed unifying the country is in his "whole soul."

His rhetoric was unbelievably inflammatory. And Biden has a history of inflammatory racial comments. Remember "Put you all back in chains"? He made that comment about the Romney/Ryan ticket. Yes, Romney/Ryan. https://t.co/KEnD2K9cFj

Remember when he said “you ain’t black” if you weren’t voting for him? French is right, but you know where we’re going with this, right? Time to dunk on French for promoting this guy.

He’s never hidden the ball. “Battle for the Soul of America.” How else to take that except: he’s leading the forces of Good. Those who oppose him must therefore be Evil. There can be no unity under that framing; respectable, good faith opposition is not acknowledged.

Yes, I also remember the Biden/Ryan debate where "Good Ol' Joe" acted like the most obnoxious person in the world, replete with the type of interruptions he would denounce only eight years later.

He has always been this person, but too many have political amnesia.

We have stopped listening to you. Because you never listened to us when it mattered.

Anyone who actually believed Biden would not be as terrible as he is was willfully blind due to their hatred for Trump.

Your guy, David. Enjoy the norms.

He is who he has always been.

He's always been this way. I don't blame people for voting for Biden, or Hillary, or even Trump for that matter. Just don't pretend it wasn't a lesser of two evils decision. Don't pretend that the person you voted for is a good person, or honest, or principled, or empathetic.

That Biden reverts to racism to demonize the opposition should be a surprise to no one.
