Wall Street didn’t build the middle class. Wall Street didn’t build America. The middle-class built America, and unions built the middle class.

Democracy is really at stake. You can’t be a democracy when you support violence when you don’t like the outcome of an election.

Well, guess what? We`re able to change it. So, allowing -- we`ve been working for a long time, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

I see a different America. An America with an unlimited future, an America that`s about to take off.

I think this is exactly what Joe Biden was talking about in his speech when he essentially said, you can only believe in democracy when your side wins, right?

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans Representative extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.

Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to election. Either they win or they were cheated. And that`s where the MAGA Republicans are today. They don`t understand what every patriotic American knows. You…

Too much of what is happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump in the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the foundations of our republic. There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated…

Vote for freedom, vote for democracy because as he gave this speech in defense of democracy, Donald Trump in the very same day literally implied that he wanted to pardon insurrectionists.

As I stand here tonight, a quality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections. They`ve tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people. This time, they`re…

What we’re seeing in today’s Republican Party, and as the president said, not all Republicans, but the MAGA Republicans, is that this is a party of petty grievances, and sore losers, more and more.

It`s sickening to see the new attacks on the FBI, threatened in life as law enforcement agents and their families for simply carrying out the law and doing their job. There`s no place in this country no place, for endangering the lives of…

Not every Republican, not even the majority Republicans are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I`ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there`s no question that the…

I ran for President because I believed we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. I still believe that to be true.

I don't consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country. I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, who fails to condemn violence when it's used, refuses to acknowledge when an election has been won, that is the threat to…

He said there were millions of Americans -- we don`t have a number -- who are a profound threat to American democracy because they don`t abide by the rules of American democracy and want to see it overturned.

I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being, and I’m asking every American to join me.

Here we are, I am president, but the democracy is in peril, like 1860, like 1940. We are in a situation where few things go the wrong way, we could lose our system, our rule of law, our free and fair elections.

Democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible.

We can’t afford to have -- leave anyone on the sidelines. We need everyone to do their part.

Not every Republican, not even the majority Republicans are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I`ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there`s no question that the…

They don`t understand what every patriotic American knows.

I will not stand by and watch the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American. They’re incompatible.
