Biden Calls Out GOP At Marathon Press Conference: 'What Are They For?' - The Last Word - MSNBC

Dionne says President Biden’s Wednesday press conference shows he’s ready to draw political lines. “It really marked Joe Biden crossing the Rubicon.

Like suppressing the vote, destroying public education, prayer in schools, the bible being taught in schools, less pay for women on the job, etc. They just don't want to talk about them out in the open.
