Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is ripping into President Joe Biden for comments he made about the “MAGA crowd.”
During an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday night, Gabbard said, “It is absolutely despicable and outrageous.”
“When you look at the President of the United States of America calling millions of Americans essentially terrorists — people who politically opposed him or voted against him — he’s calling them terrorists,” she continued.
Finally, Gabbard added, “No matter how you feel about the ‘MAGA crowd,’ this is an authoritarian assault on our freedom. And we need to stand together very strongly against this attempt to intimidate and silence anyone who holds political views that are different from or opposed to what this president and his administration are furthering. This is an assault on our democracy.”

The former Congresswoman referred to comments Biden made at the White House on Wednesday after a leaked draft opinion appeared to show the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“What happens if you have [a] state change the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can’t be in classrooms with other children? Is that legit under the way the decision’s written? What are the next things that are going to be attacked?” he asked.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history,” he claimed.

At a separate point, he took aim at an 11-point plan laid out by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) that created a vision for what Republicans would do if they regain control of Congress.
“Senator Rick Scott of Florida…released what he calls ‘the ultra MAGA agenda,” Biden said.
He continued, “It’s a MAGA agenda, alright. Let me tell you about this ‘ultra MAGA agenda.’ It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.”
Biden also ripped into the draft opinion and called it “radical” on Tuesday.
The president was asked if he believes the leak “has irreparably changed the court.”
“Well, you know, if this decision holds, it’s really a radical decision,” Biden responded.
He continued, “The underlying premise — and again I’ve not had a chance to thoroughly go into the decision — but it basically says all the decisions relating to your private life — who you marry, whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether or not you can have an abortion, a range of other decisions, how you raise your child — what does this do?”
“Does this mean that in Florida, they can decide they’re going to pass a law saying that same-sex marriage is not permissible? It’s against the law in Florida. So, it’s a fundamental shift in American jurisprudence,” Biden added.
