the country in an effort to put them down and delegitimize them ,you re the one who is now the nation s divider in chief. that s the type of president we have with joe biden. it is like a memory care unit. mussolini at moments, it was kind of frightening and sad at the same time, today on msnbc, eddie glaude made this comparison. mercedes, it s an important speech. remember, lincoln gave a speech in 1860. what happens? we have the civil war. we have folks who reject the basic premise. there s always been this current this thread in american life where there are those who are not necessarily committed to democracy. they re committed to an idea that ours must remain a white nation. in the vein of old europe, kind of created the space for people to choose the country as opposed to a party. mercedes, your response to this? the media framing of what we heard last night, right. well, i got to tell you, raymond, it is very disturbing to watch these political analyst and joe biden and th
