On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President Joe Biden is seeking to amplify how he has helped black communities across the country.
But his criticism of congressional Republicans before what are anticipated to be difficult negotiations over raising the debt ceiling overshadowed his remarks to Rev. Al Sharpton's annual National Action Network breakfast.“They're fiscally demented, I think," Biden said Monday of Republicans after promoting his deficit-cutting measures."They don't quite get it."
"The idea that we’re supposed to remain silent on the abuses of the past as if they didn't occur? That's not being woke," he said."That's being honest." "I love my right-wing friends who talk about the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots," he said."If you need to worry about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don't need an AR-15."
