President Joe Biden said that the “universal” message of Christmas should be enough to unify Americans. He made the comments on Thursday afternoon during his Christmas address, despite having been a divider-in-chief who has name-called Republicans and has demonized them on multiple instances.
“The Christmas story is at the heart of the Christian faith, but the message of hope, love, peace, and joy are also universal. It speaks to all of us, whether a Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist or no faith at all, speaks to all of us as human beings,” Biden said. “We’re here on this earth to care for one another, to look out for one another, to love one another. The message of Christmas is always important, but it’s especially important through tough times like the ones we’ve been through the past few years.”

Biden went on to discuss how divisive politics has become, as though he has no role in the division.
“Our politics have gotten so angry, so mean, so partisan. And too often we see each other as enemies. Not as neighbors, as Democrats or Republicans, not as fellow Americans,” Biden said. “We’ve become too divided. But as tough as these times have been, if we look a little closer, we see bright spots all across the country. The strength of determination, the resilience that’s long defined America. We’re surely making progress.”
He said that “this holiday season will drain the poison that infected our politics and set us against one another.”
“I hope this Christmas season marks a fresh start for our nation because there’s so much that unites us as Americans, so much more that unites us than divides us,” he said. “We’re truly blessed to live in this nation.”
Biden has previously and on several occasions blasted “MAGA Republicans” and demonized them.
“I don’t think we’re gonna break the fever for the super mega MAGA Republicans,” he said prior to November’s midterms.
He has also said, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”

“But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans,” said Biden.

“That is a threat to this country.”
Said that he would “tell you the truth,” stating that “MAGA republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.”
