Kayleigh McEnany’s Attack On President Biden Backfires On Her And Trump

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany probably thought she had the perfect way to attack President Joe Biden for his criticism of MAGA Republicans who are a threat to democracy in the United States, but her plan backfired badly and wound up reinforcing what Biden had said.

The president gave a speech addressing the attack on the American republic by those allied with ex-president Donald Trump who deny the results of elections, foment violence against anyone who disagrees with them, and defend even the most vile actions of their GOP colleagues.

Biden spoke from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, warning:

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

The president added:

“MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

That led McEnany to try and spin the current administration as the extremist element in the country, tweeting out:

Biden announces the official position of the White House: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic.”

As HuffPost notes, there’s a lot of evidence to support what Biden said:

Last year, for the first time, the U.S. was listed as a “backsliding democracy” in a report by a European think tank as a result of developments during Trump’s administration. The report said Trump’s lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election were a turning point that undermined trust in the nation’s electoral process and ultimately led to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

Since then, Trump and his allies have continued to undermine the voting process and elevate election-denying candidates, leading Biden and other Democrats to cast the 2022 midterm elections as a referendum on democracy itself.

It didn’t take long before McEnany got her comeuppance, with most respondents noting that what the president said was spot-on.

Ted Cruz Walks Right Into A Spectacular Self-Own When He Complains Joe Biden Doesn’t ‘Respect’ MAGA Republicans

Even though he never gives respect to anyone other than people who don’t deserve it (i.e. Donald Trump), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is angry with President Joe Biden for saying in a stump speech this week that he doesn’t “respect these MAGA Republicans.”

Why would anyone respect the members of a death cult? Are we supposed to respect Jim Jones and David Koresh? If so, count me out.

The MAGA Republicans are also cultish and devoted to the Donald and whatever he does or says. They would follow him off a cliff like lemmings if he told them to. So why do they deserve even a shred of respect?

That statement from the president led Cruz to respond.

Really, Ted? You’re going to take that attitude considering how you repeatedly disrespected Barack Obama and every other member of the Democratic congressional delegation?

Keep in mind just a few of the more disgusting things Cruz has said over the course of his political career:

  • Senator Ted Cruz, the conservative Texas Republican considering a run for the presidency, lashed out at President Barack Obama during a visit to New Hampshire on Sunday, saying his administration had repeatedly trampled on the Constitution.
  • According to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is essentially financing terrorism. And he’s not backing down after the president called his comments “outrageous.”
  • In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said President Obama is not interested in protecting the United States.

But now Cruz wants respect? Instead, he got hit with a Twitter two-by-four.

GOP Whining Joe Biden The Biden Administration

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is ENRAGED That Joe Biden Referred To Her As ‘What’s Her Name’

Now that President Joe Biden and his administration have decided to take off the gloves and fight back against the conspiracy theories, lies, and obstruction of Republicans, GOP members of Congress are finding out what it’s like when a good verbal barb hits home.

Take Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), one of the nastiest human beings on the face of the planet, a woman who goes out of her way to troll those she disagrees with (usually on Twitter), who was apoplectic this week when the president announced student loan debt relief for millions of Americans.

In response, Greene remarked:

“For for our government just to say, you know, ‘okay, well your debt is completely forgiven.’ Obviously they have an agenda for that they need votes in November. So the timing is a pure coincidence there as well, but it’s completely unfair and taxpayers all over the country, taxpayers that never took out a student loan, taxpayers that pay their bills and and you know, maybe even never went to college or just hard-working people. They shouldn’t have to pay off the great big student loan debt for some college student that piled up massive debt going to some Ivy League school. That’s not fair.”

That led the White House to remind Greene that her family business took a rather large sum of money in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that were later forgiven by the federal government.

The Georgia Republican was so upset that about all she could manage to offer in response was to tell the president to “Go to hell.” Of course, if he was going to, the first person he’d see in Hades would be Greene, who is probably a tour guide.

But the president was far from finished with Ms. Greene, telling reporters when asked about her comments:

“I found it absolutely fascinating that some of the folks who were talking about [how] this is big spending are the same people who got $158,000 in PPP money.”

When he tried to give an example, Biden either couldn’t think of Greene’s name or (even better) deliberately refused to call her by name, which would be the ultimate diss.

That absolutely enraged Greene, as was clear by how she reacted on Twitter:

“Well if his dementia wasn’t so bad he could remember. At least President Trump knows everyone’s name. Joe is a career politician that knows nothing about making payroll during a tyrannical government shutdown. He only knows how to buy votes.”

That’s when Twitter took over and got the last laugh on Margie Three Toes.

The Biden Administration Lays The Ultimate Twitter Burn On Marjorie Taylor Greene For Her Hypocrisy

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has spent a good portion of the day complaining about President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive up to $10,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans, a plan that is being praised by many economists but almost universally panned by members of the GOP.

Greene went on Newsmax to whine about the loan forgiveness program, remarking:

“For for our government just to say, you know, ‘okay, well your debt is completely forgiven.’ Obviously they have an agenda for that they need votes in November. So the timing is a pure coincidence there as well, but it’s completely unfair and taxpayers all over the country, taxpayers that never took out a student loan, taxpayers that pay their bills and and you know, maybe even never went to college or just hard-working people. They shouldn’t have to pay off the great big student loan debt for some college student that piled up massive debt going to some Ivy League school. That’s not fair.”

The led the White House to do something it rarely does: Respond on social media, reminding Greene that she ripped the taxpayers off by taking a Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loan for her family business that was later written off by the U.S. Treasury.

As ProPublica has reported, Greene did indeed take $182,300 via a PPP loan on April 10, 2020. And that loan was forgiven to the tune of $183,504, with interest included.

That makes Ms. Greene one hell of a hypocrite.

But the administration wasn’t finished. They called out other Republicans who took PPP loans and had them written off, too:

Facts are terrible things, aren’t they, Marge?

Joe Biden U.S. Senate WTF?!

Rick Scott Trolls Biden For Taking Too Many Vacations – While Vacationing On A Yacht In Italy

Proving once again that the biggest hypocrites on the planet carry the designation “R” after their name, Republican Sen. Rick Scott thought it’d be a great idea if he attacked President Joe Biden for taking too many vacations.

Problem is, Scott leveled his criticism at the president while sitting on a luxury yacht in Italy, according to Newsweek.

The Republican senator posted a tweet on Monday criticizing Biden for spending time at his family home in Delaware during the August recess amid White House renovations and COVID-19 recovery. On Tuesday, Scott was found to be spending the congressional recess on a luxury yacht in Italy, according to Axios.

“Another week of President Biden vacationing in Delaware vs. working at the White House,” Scott tweeted on Monday.

“If he loves to travel so much, I’ve got some suggestions as to where he should go next,” he added, while including a poll with all three answers as “The Southern Border.”

Don’t you just hate when you’re trying to troll someone and you get cold busted doing the very same thing you’re slamming them for? That’s some harsh karmic retribution.

Yes, Congress is indeed in recess until September, and doesn’t the president deserve some time off, too? After all, his predecessor played golf nearly every weekend, visited almost all of his resorts during his four years in office, and was constantly flying back and forth to Florida, New Jersey, and New York on dime of American taxpayers. Also, Trump didn’t actually do anything even when he was in the White House other than watch Fox News, scarf down Big Macs, and send out one hateful tweet after another.

Ironically, Scott is also under fire for wasting millions of dollars that were supposed be used to help elect Republicans to the Senate in the midterm election. After all, he’s chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is facing a financial squeeze:

A national Republican consultant working on Senate races told the Post, in reference to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, “If they were a corporation, the CEO would be fired and investigated. The way this money has been burned, there needs to be an audit or investigation because we’re not gonna take the Senate now and this money has been squandered. It’s a rip-off.”

It didn’t take long before Scott was getting plenty of well-deserved mockery on Twitter.
