Biden Tells Multiple Lies In Divisive, Pre-Written Speech After Immunity Decision
President Biden delivered a brief press conference from the White House on Monday after Supreme Court ruled in favor of presidential immunity for official acts. The president told multiple lies in a five-minute speech before wrapping up without taking any questions from reporters.
“For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a President can do,” Biden claimed. “This is a fundamentally new principle, and it’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the President alone.”
In the wake of the decision, the far-left has claimed that presidents now have the ability to act as dictators and do anything they want, an opinion that was firmly rejected by Chief Justice John Roberts, who explicitly stated that the ruling does not mean the president is “not above the law” in his opinion. The ruling merely concerns official acts, Roberts explained, meaning that the justices sent the case back to lower courts to determine if the acts at the center of Trump’s January 6 case were “official.”

This did not stop the dissenting justices — Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson — from making a number of bizarre claims, including that presidents will be able to act as “kings” and be able to assassinate their political opponents.
President Biden repeated a number of the hyperbolic and false claims made by dissenting justices during his brief statement on Monday evening.
The president accused the nation’s highest court of continuing its, “attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.”
From there, Biden continued with a dark and divisive tone by repeating a number of lies concerning the January 6 Capitol protests.
“Nearly four years ago, my predecessor sent a violent mob to the U.S. Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power,” Biden said, ignoring the fact that Trump told his supporters to protest peacefully outside the Capitol Building.
“We all saw it with our own eyes. We sat there and watched it happen that day. An attack on the police, the ransacking of the Capitol, a mob literally hunting down the House Speaker,” he continued, failing to mention that Capitol Police sparked the disturbance by firing tear gas into a peaceful crowd, which ended up blowing back on their own officers and caused police lines to collapse.
The president also falsely claimed that the crowd wanted to hang Vice President Mike Pence by using a prop gallows made out of plywood.
“I think it’s fair to say is one of the darkest days in the history of America. Now the man who sent that mob to the U.S. Capitol is facing potential criminal conviction for what happened that day. And the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the upcoming election. The public has a right to know the answer about what happened on January 6th before they asked to vote again this year,” Biden continued. “Now, because of today’s decision, that is highly, highly unlikely. It’s a terrible disservice to the people of this nation. So now, now the American people have to do what the courts should have been willing to do but will not.”
He then called on the American people to reject former President Trump and render a judgement on whether, “Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on January 6th makes him unfit for public office in the highest office in the land.”
President Biden closed his speech by stating that he agrees with Justice Sotomayor’s dissent before sprinting back to the Oval Office without taking any questions from reporters.
