President Joe Biden accused his political opponents on Wednesday of putting American democracy in peril.

“We can’t take democracy for granted any longer,” he said a mere six days before Election Day.

Speaking from Union Station in Washington, D.C., he said, “As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America—for governor, for Congress, for attorney general, for secretary of state who won’t commit to accepting the results of the election’s they’re in. That is the path to chaos in America. It’s unprecedented. It’s unlawful. And it is un-American.”

While Biden did not acknowledge his predecessor by name, he pointed to Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election as the cause of increased political violence across the country.

“This intimidation, this violence against Democrats, Republicans, and non-partisan officials just doing their jobs, is the consequence of lies told for power and profit, lies of conspiracy and malice, lies repeated over and over to generate a cycle of anger, hate, vitriol, and even violence,” he said. “In this moment, we have to confront those lies with the truth, the very future of our nation depends on it.”

“American democracy is under attack because the defeated former president … refuses to accept the will of the people,” he said.

While the president referred to a lack of trust in election results as “unprecedented,” his own political party has an extensive history of denying election results going back decades.

Democrats repeatedly questioned the results of the 2000 presidential election, which Al Gore claimed he “would have won” if every vote in Florida was counted.

In 2002, Hillary Clinton said that George Bush had been “selected” rather than elected, and in 2016, she said the Supreme Court “took away the presidency” in Bush v. Gore.

More recently, Clinton refused to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election. In September 2017, she said she would not “rule out” questioning the legitimacy of the election, and in May 2019, she claimed the election was “stolen” from her.

Later that year, she repeatedly referred to Trump as an “illegitimate president.”

Democrat Stacey Abrams refused to concede the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race and challenged the “legitimacy of the election.”

She said it was “not a free and fair election” and referred to it as “an erosion of our democracy.”

Joe Biden himself said in 2019 that he “absolutely agrees” that Trump was an “illegitimate president.” He has also continually promulgated the theory that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election.

Even this year, President Biden cast doubt on the upcoming midterm elections if Democratic “electoral reforms” are not put in place.

“I mean, imagine if those attempts to say that the count was not legit. You have to recount it and we’re not going to count – we’re going to discard the following votes. I mean, sure, but – I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit,” he said. “The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get [electoral] reforms passed.”

As recently reported by The Dallas Express, Democrat-aligned political groups and nonprofits have allegedly spent nearly $44 million backing farther right candidates in the Republican primaries surmising that it will be easier for Democrat candidates to beat such opponents in the general election.
