There have been reports of high-profile acts of political violence against Republicans and conservatives following President Joe Biden’s controversial “MAGA Republicans” speech last month.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said during a politically charged speech on Sept. 1 in Philadelphia.
While speaking in front of an ominously lit dark red backdrop and flanked by two U.S. Marines, Biden alleged that “MAGA Republicans” also promote “authoritarian leaders” and “fan the flames of political violence” to target rights and the “very soul of this country.”
While it’s not clear if Biden’s speech motivated acts of vandalism or allegedly politically motivated attacks, several Republican offices across the country have been vandalized since Biden’s speech, including the Larimer County Republican Party in Fort Collins, Colorado; the Ottawa County Republican Party in Hudsonville, Michigan; and the Nebraska Republican Party headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska….
