President Joe Biden will mark the third anniversary of the January 6th insurrection with a speech warning of the dangers of MAGA fascism at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania on Saturday, CNN reports.
“The president will make the case directly that democracy and freedom, two powerful ideas that united the 13 colonies and that generations throughout our nation’s history have fought and died for a stone’s throw from where he’ll be Saturday, remains central to the fight we’re in today,” said Biden Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks in a statement, adding that the president plans another speech Monday at the Charlotte, South Carolina Black church where a MAGA white supremacist gunman slaughtered nine parishioners at a prayer meeting in 2015. “Whether it is White supremacists descending on a historic American city of Charlottesville, the assault on our nation’s capital on January 6, or a White supremacist murdering churchgoers at Mother Emanuel nearly nine years ago, America is worried about the rise in political violence and determined to stand against it.”
Vice President Kamala Harris will separately travel to South Carolina on Saturday to speak at the 7th Episcopal District AME Church Women’s Missionary Society annual retreat in Myrtle Beach.
