President Joe Biden on Saturday criticized the Supreme Court as “out of kilter” at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles as he teamed up with former President Barack Obama to warn of a second Donald Trump term.
Biden specifically argued the next four years could see openings on the Supreme Court, potentially leading to the appointment of more conservative justices if Trump is reelected. “The idea that if he’s reelected he’s going to appoint two more flying flags upside down,” Biden said in an apparent reference to a flag that once flew outside the home of Justice Samuel Alito.
“Joe Biden has stood for those values and continues to and the other guy doesn’t and that in and of itself is not something that we can ignore or pretend is a difference that doesn’t exist.” In another warning about Trump, Biden said “Institutions matter. What he did on January 6, and now he’s literally saying if he doesn’t win there’ll be a bloodbath. It’s outrageous, what he’s talking about is outrageous.
