Former President Donald Trump recently made a shocking claim at a Get Out The Vote rally in Greensboro, NC, Saturday. Trump declared that President Joe Biden was part of a “conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America” via Mediaite.
It has been noted that following repeating false claims about the 2020 presidential race being a “rigged election,” Trump got to the meat-and-potatoes portion of his speech: blaming Joe Biden for the border crisis.
“Every day, Joe Biden is giving aid and comfort to the foreign enemies of the United States. He’s actually giving aid,” Trump said, continuing:
And they don’t respect us anymore as a country. Three years ago, we were more respected than ever before, and now they have no respect for us whatsoever. And Putin, yesterday is talking about nuclear. Did you hear that, right? Nuclear. He wouldn’t be talking about nuclear if I were here, he wouldn’t be talking about it.
Biden’s conduct on our border is, by any definition, a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America. You know, he talks about democracy. He is a danger to democracy. He is. Number one, he goes after his political opponent, which nobody’s ever done in this country. They do it in third world countries very well. They do it.
But they’re not going to succeed with us. They’re not going to succeed. It’s making us stronger. It’s making us stronger. Biden and his accomplices want to collapse the American system, nullify the will of the actual American voters, and establish a new base of power that gives them control for generations.
Trump’s claim that Biden is persecuting him as a political opponent stems from the DOJ’s case to hold Trump accountable for allegedly trying to block the peaceful transfer of power in 2020. The former president faces felony charges of working to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and fomenting the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Immigration took center stage this week as both Trump and Biden visited different border towns in Texas. Biden was criticized for choosing the town of Brownsville, which has seen far fewer migrants than Eagle Pass, where Trump was joined by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX).
