Former US president calls FBI raid an “abuse of power” and threatens violent response
Former US President Donald Trump has described the country’s current president, Joe Biden, as “enemy of the state”. At a rally in Pennsylvania this Saturday, in what was his first public speech after the FBI raided his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. He has criticized Biden’s speech to the nation, assuring it is the most “ruthless” speech ever delivered by a US president.
“This week, Joe Biden came to Philadelphia to deliver the most brutal, hateful, and divisive speech ever by a US president,” he told the crowd at a campaign rally for the Republican candidates. In that sense, Trump has denounced that the president has “defamed 75 million citizens as a threat to democracy.” “You are all enemies of the state,” he said, referring to Biden’s words.
However, Trump added, “He is the enemy of the state if you want to know the truth.” “Republicans in the MAGA movement are not the ones trying to undermine our democracy,” he continued. “We are the ones trying to save our very simple democracy.”
Biden assured Thursday that supporters of former President Donald Trump pose a threat to American democracy, which he has called on the country’s citizens to defend. “Tonight I have come here, to the place where it all began, to speak clearly to the nation about the threats we face. About the power we have in our hands to deal with those threats. And about the incredible future that lies ahead if we choose him,” the US president said.
“The forces of MAGA (an acronym for Trump’s slogan ‘Make America Great Again’) are determined to reclaim this country. Towards an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception “No right to marry whoever is loved,” Biden said, referring to the country’s recent withdrawal of the right to abortion by Supreme Court decision.
Biden stressed that Donald Trump and his supporters in the Republican Party “represent extremism” and threaten “the very foundation of our republic.”
Trump has criticized the FBI’s actions after the raid on his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida in early August. “There could not be a more vivid example of the real threats to American freedom than a few weeks ago, at a time when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any government in US history,” he assured.
“The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters” under the control of “radical” politicians and the media, he added, after ruling that “the shameful raid” is “a parody of justice.” For example, he has blamed the Biden administration for the investigation that is currently studying the classified documents that were on his property.
“Americans are sick of the lies, sick of the hoaxes and scans, and especially sick of the hypocrisy. But our detractors have misjudged this blatant abuse of the law, which will cause a backlash like no one has ever seen.”
