It looks as though the primaries this week put a scare into Joe Biden and Democrats because on Wednesday, when Biden was making remarks on the economy, he tried out some new talking points on the “MAGA crowd.”
Biden repeatedly called Republicans extreme and even coined the phrase “ultra-MAGA,” whatever that is.
It’s very telling that instead of explaining to voters why they should keep his party in power, he instills fear of the other and paints them as extreme.
Quint Forgey reports at Politico:
Biden: MAGA is the ‘most extreme political organization’ in recent U.S. historyPresident Joe Biden on Wednesday escalated his rhetorical attacks on the Republican Party and rebuked former President Donald Trump’s enduring grip on the GOP.“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history,” Biden told reporters at the White House, referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.In prepared remarks on the economy, Biden also referenced Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) by name, criticizing his “11 Point Plan to Rescue America” — which proposed, in part, raising income taxes on low-income Americans…Speaking at the White House, Biden described his personal economic philosophy as “in sharp contrast to what today’s Republican Party is offering — and if they hadn’t put this in print, you’d think I was making it up.”“Senator Rick Scott of Florida … released what he calls the ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s a MAGA agenda all right,” Biden said. “Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.”

This is like a replay of Hillary Clinton’s famous “basket of deplorables” comment:
Biden also made blatantly false accusations about what Republicans want to do:
Scott hit back at Biden’s comments during an appearance on FOX News:
“Since Joe Biden got into politics, think of what’s happened,” he continued. “Taxes have gone up on Americans constantly… My plan is to reduce taxes, but let’s get everybody back to work.”Biden, speaking from the White House on Wednesday, ripped Sen. Scott for his plan saying, “It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are. It will actually raise taxes on 75 million American families.”Sen. Scott denied Biden’s claims, highlighting rising consumer prices as American families grapple with sky-high prices at the grocery store and the gas pump.”What he just did was a complete lie,” Sen. Scott said. “I want to fix this country. We’ve got to rescue this country, not take it down Joe Biden’s horrible path.”
Here are a few Twitter reactions:
Biden is just flailing. He sees what’s coming in November and he is desperate to stop it.
