President Biden on Thursday again questioned what Republicans “are for” and suggested that they “don’t stand for anything.”
Biden’s comments came during remarks at a virtual Democratic National Committee grassroots event on Thursday evening, in which he said he and Vice President Kamala Harris are “deeply disappointed” but “not deterred” by the Senate’s failure to pass his party’s “voting rights” legislation on Wednesday night.
Despite the long odds, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) chose to push forward a vote on the elections package, which joined together two bills that Republicans blocked last year: the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The former would federalize some facets of elections, including setting a 15-day minimum early-voting period and setting national standards for voter-ID laws to include a range of documentation. The latter would restore portions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that allowed the Justice Department to review election-rule changes in districts with a history of discrimination.
“We’re going to stand up to the big lie and the Republican efforts for voter suppression and . . . election subversion,” Biden said Thursday evening. “That’s what they’re doing, and we’re going to stand up, protect the right to vote and have that vote counted. That’s what the Republicans are trying to take away.”
He went on to say that Democrats have “proposed answers to the challenges we face” including Covid-19 and inflation, which he claimed is the difference between Democrats and the GOP.
The president dismissed those who have called him out on not fulfilling his campaign promises, arguing that he did not make promises but proposals and that in the evenly divided Senate, senators essentially become presidents with the ability to obstruct policies that they disagree with. Still, he claimed Democrats are largely united, with 48 of the 50 Democrats voting with him on everything and the other two — Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — voting with him on “80 percent of everything.”
Democrats know what they’re for, he claimed, “but ask yourself the question . . . what are Republicans for? What are they for? It’s no accident they didn’t even bother to come up with a platform in 2020. They had no platform at their convention because they don’t stand for anything — except to stop us.”
The remarks were reminiscent of comments he made at his solo press conference on Wednesday. At both events he touted a recent interview that New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu did with the Washington Examiner in which the Republican governor said he chose not to run for the Senate because he didn’t want to be a “roadblock” to Biden for two years.
Sununu said he decided not to run for Senate after hearing Republicans’ plan for the next two years: “They were all, for the most part, content with the speed at which they weren’t doing anything. It was very clear that we just have to hold the line for two years. Okay, so I’m just going to be a roadblock for two years. That’s not what I do,” Sununu said.
“It bothered me that they were okay with that,” he added.
On Wednesday, Biden said he “did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that President Biden didn’t get anything done.”

Biden Claims Republicans ‘Don’t Stand for Anything’
Democrats are ready to destroy all the suburbs in the USA for their solar panels, wind turbines and farms. They are totally against the United States and want total power over every American and to control us, all of us. These so called humans are going to turn the US into a Communist country and rename their party to this “The Democratic Communist Party”. They are mentally sick and want to be just like China ! Sorry to tell you this but it’s true, it’s all TRUE ! The bill to change the voting laws is a scam so they can stay in power for all time and never let anyone else in. My suggestion is to NEVER vote for Democrats ever again ! We need Americans in the Washington DC, not anti-Americans. Democrats have never been Americans and never will be Americans. The time is NOW to rid the United States of ALL Democratic politicians and never let then back in the United States. God Bless America !!!!!!!
As a Republican I stand for more things in our country than Biden has in his little finger!!! What a disgrace he is. Chuck Shurmer is worst. People like pelosi and scharff are just idiots and I don’t say that lightly. My suggestion to Biden when he is on his long weekends in Delaware is to view himself from the few press conferences he has given. It should take him about an hour and see for himself what he looks like to the rest of us in this great country – The United States of American. He is a liar, cheat and the most dishonest person I have ever run across in my 69 years on this earth. I too was a former Democrat and will NEVER go back to a party that backs someone like him.
Agreed! And Biden flaunts his pedophilia in front of the world! He is proud of it!
If his women of the night is a Dr. why doesn’t she have enough sense to do something cause she likes the prestige of being a dumbass like him
I do NOT understand Gov Sununuss’ comments if he is actually a Republican. Biden does NOT have the mental capacity to even understand what he is ‘saying’. There is so much corruption and financial bribing etc going on it stinks. If that voting thing gets approved lets all just welcome neo communism and kow tow to the CCP whilst we all worship at the altar of Marx and Engels.
If one is to look up the definition of corruption 4 faces will show up next to the word. Biden, Obama, Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton. I know their are many more corrupt people in Washington DC but these 4 are the worst of the bunch!!!
Exactly! But racist liar and thief Waters needs to be added!
Everything Biden and his evil administration says is what they are doing wrong so they blame anybody else, especially Trumpf for. They try to make themselves smell like a rose. Instead they stink like a skunk and we can all smell it all over America.
It’s not a voting rights bill. It’s a NiggeRAT will always be in the WH bill. We have voting rights. It’s in the constitution, that the niggeRAT party hates!
Well now you know why they prefer the SLAVERY PLANTATION!
When you act like a liberal and censor my post then I am forced to move Payriotnews.com to the spam file .
It’s this disgusting Disqus crap! They censor like Zukerberg!
Not sure what those Republicans are doing. But why aren’t they demand Biden take the test? Just as the democrats force Trump to do? Do we have a bunch of RINO- REPUBLICANS WHO TALKING OUT OF THE SIDE OF THEIR MOUTH? But not standing up for the people who voted for them. Well guess it coming soon than later. If you love America and your freedom and liberty. It time you pick up arms and be prepared for another civil war. Because this is getting way out of hands! Thank to those in Biden administration who need to get hit right between their eyes!
The issue with most of the Republicans is that their are far to many RINO’S who go about intimidating anyone who is not a RINO. You are absolutely correct that we need to Demand a FULL and complete Psychological Evaluation on NMP Joe BiteME. Anyone with half a brain can see he is so cognitively impaired and that he should have been removed from the ballot during the primaries. NOOOO the Demo Rats knew they would not be able to control Bernie Sanders. The rest were not very likable so the chose Joe the IDIOT Biden and then Kamala HO Harris who has no likable bone in her body and could not win a single delegate during the primaries. It is time to have the top 4 removed from office ASAP!!! NMP Slow Creepy Joe BiteMe, Kamala HO Hyena Harris, Nazi Nancy Pelosi, and Chucky Schumer. Remove them from office preferably in Handcuffs and send down to GITMO.
Take note folks. So far not one Democrat has tried to tell us how current voting laws affect minorities than they do anyone else.
Let’s Go Brandon, FJB, hey you COMMUNIST BOUGHT FAUX president , if REPUBLICANS don’t stand for anything, How comes DEMOCRATS are leaving the sinking ship and coming over to the REPUBLICAN PARTY. Let me tell you, YOU FAUX president. WE THE PEOPLE who ae REPUBLICANS STAND for the FLAG, we stand for GOD AND COUNTRY , something you have forgotten because of being an IDIOT and a PUPPETT a very CORRUPT BOUGHT FAUX president.
BIDEN IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE AND A FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT AND A VIRUS ON AMERICA
And don’t forget that Nazi Fauci.
One thing for sure, they’re not socialist/communists
We can now call Biden Mr. Anything.
The last paragraph pretty much sums up what was done to POTUS Trump at least up to the midterms. For most of his presidency he was forced to pursue everything through the courts. Ask Brandon how he likes it.
