President Joe Biden addressed the nation for the second time on Sunday after a would-be assassin almost killed former President Donald Trump during a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.
Biden stumbled right out of the gate, as usual, lacking empathy despite saying he was grateful “former Trump” was not seriously injured.

The 81-year-old president claimed that violence is not the answer— and conveniently failed to mention any examples of political violence perpetrated by the left and/or against conservatives in recent years.
Biden says "violence has never been the answer," then goes on to list examples of political violence in recent years.

Biden then said that the United States resolves differences at the “battle box,” without providing context for what that exactly means.

Perhaps most importantly, Biden ended his address by almost repeating Trump's MAGA slogan before catching himself and asking what makes America so special instead.

On Saturday, Trump survived an attempted assassination during a rally in Pennsylvania. Biden announced earlier that his Administration had launched an investigation into the security apparatus.
