During a Tuesday speech in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden smeared those involved in the January 6 Capitol “insurrection” as worse than slave-owning Confederates in the Civil War.

Mocking Republicans for their attempts to pass voter integrity legislation to prevent future massive election fraud by Democrats, Biden said, “The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat — literally. I’ve said it before. We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. It’s not hyperbole — since the Civil War.”

Fact check: yes, this is hyperbole. In fact, arguably the greatest test of our democracy since the Civil War is the stolen 2020 election, which Democrats deny despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. The left has “literally” — to quote Biden — bulldozed democracy by seizing all the political power in this country through blatant, nationwide fraud.

“Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6,” the doddering Biden continued.

Fact check: there was no insurrection on January 6.

“I’m not saying this to alarm you. I’m saying this because you should be alarmed,” Biden blathered. “I never thought in my entire career I would have to say it. But I swore an oath to you and to God to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. That’s an oath that forms a sacred trust to defend America against all threats both foreign and domestic.”

Biden and his party have no intention of preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution, a document they resent for restraining their lust for absolute power. As for domestic threats, Biden need look no further than the nearest mirror.
