At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, former president Donald Trump attacked the FBI raid on his Florida home and referred to his successor Joe Biden as a “enemy of the state.”
Trump described the search as a “travesty of justice” and expressed concern that it would cause “a response the likes of which nobody has ever seen” in his first public appearance since the raid on August 8.
As you saw, we had one of the most appalling abuses of power by any administration in American history just a few weeks ago, and there is no more striking illustration of the very serious risks to American freedom, according to Trump.
His assertion that the raid was overseen by the Biden administration violates long-standing protocols that require the Justice Department and the FBI to act independently of the White House.
Trump told cheering supporters at a rally in Wilkes-Barre that the “egregious abuse of the law” would result in “a backlash the likes of which nobody has ever seen.”
Trump also reacted angrily to Biden’s speech this week, in which the president said his predecessor and Republican supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
Trump called Biden’s speech the “most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president.”
The state’s adversary is him. “You want to know that,” Trump remarked.
Republicans in the MAGA movement are not trying to undermine our democracy, he added, alluding to his Make America Great Again movement.
Our democracy is being saved by us, to put it simply. Radical leftists, not conservatives, are the threat to democracy, he continued.
