Republicans work themselves into frenzy after Biden says we might be able to have July 4th parties
President Biden signed a life-saving, life-changing $1.9 trillion relief bill yesterday, demonstrating what competent leadership during a crisis looks like after four years of the American people suffering under Donald Trump. At the same time, the vaccine rollout continues to ramp up, raising hopes that the COVID-19 pandemic will soon be in the rearview mirror. Since day one of his administration, tackling the coronavirus has been Biden’s primary focus and we are now seeing the dividends of that approach.
Things are going so well in fact that President Biden revealed yesterday that if the country rises to the challenge, employs the proper safety precautions, and gets vaccinated as soon as doses become available to them, there’s a good chance that we will be able to celebrate July 4th with friends and family. Small groups of people will once again be able to congregate and socialize without fear of catching a possibly deadly virus.
President Biden called on states to make the coronavirus vaccine available to all adults by May 1 and said he was hopeful that the U.S. could return to some form of normal life by the Fourth of July.https://t.co/sgezagZkjj pic.twitter.com/b8xQOGzw5u

Since Republicans refuse to give Biden any of the credit he deserves and revel in politicizing the pandemic every chance they get they’re now throwing a collective fit over Biden’s July 4th remarks, painting him as some kind of tyrant. They’re intentionally misrepresenting his words to make it sound like he was granting them permission to celebrate the holiday or that he was threatening anyone who plans to throw a big Fourth of July party. They’ve taken his benign calls for safety and twisted them into something authoritarian and dishonest.
Add your name to call on prosecutors to ARREST DONALD TRUMP for his crimes!
As is always the case when one of these hacks finds some new stupid issue to get all worked up about, the others all followed suit and a culture war feeding frenzy began, with a stream of prominent Republicans rushing to weigh in on the topic. These people behave like children and somehow keep managing to convince voters to elect them. Take a look at some of the more ludicrous tweets below and remind yourself of the staggering idiocy we are fighting against.
So I was gonna have a normal Fourth of July this year, but now I’m thinking massive party.
Agree?

Biden's remarks about gathering for the 4th of July illustrate that our current political class believes itself to be the people's rulers, not their representatives.

The only way I’m NOT BBQing with friends and family on the 4th of July is if we get in a fight at our Memorial Day BBQ.

On the 4th of July, we celebrate America and our many freedoms. One of those freedoms is that YOU get to decide if you want to have family and friends over in your own backyard, NOT the government. https://t.co/xl1ovY9sef

If you think your life sucks… imagine being a person so consumed with fear that you believe that you might FINALLY be able to get together with a small group of people on the 4th of July… but only if a man with dementia says it's ok.

I wonder how the founding fathers would have reacted to a President who thought he had the authority to dictate how we celebrated the 4th of July…

I have news for President Biden
I'm having a big cookout on the Fourth of July…its going to be one if those legendary CP parties and I'm not asking the WH for permission.— Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) March 12, 2021
Last night Joe Biden told us if we’re all good little sheep maybe we will be allowed to gather in our backyards for the Fourth of July… who wants to tell him we don’t need his permission?
