President Biden delivered remarks honoring the legacy of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and on the state of U.S. democracy, at the Tempe Center for the Arts in Arizona. He said, “there’s something dangerous happening in America now. There’s an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy, the MAGA movement.” He said not every Republican belongs to this movement, but the party is driven and intimidated by “MAGA Republican extremists.” Also, President Biden was critical of former President Trump’s actions and rhetoric toward U.S. institutions and peoples, such as reports Mr. Trump called fallen veterans “suckers,” as well as a social media post from Mr. Trump calling Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley a “traitor” who deserved to be executed. President Biden was introduced by the late Sen. McCain’s wife, Cindy McCain, who was President Biden’s U.S. ambassador to the U.N. for Food and Agriculture from 2021-23. close
