Anyone watching Biden's announcements going on? He just called Cruz & Hawley LIARS

He answered a reporter's question "Do you think they should resign?"
He said the voters should vote them out when their term is up. But he did say "It's a part of the Big Lie..if you say it often enough people will believe it".

That's equivalent to me of calling them LIARS. Thank you for speaking the truth, President Biden!

Great to see Kamala too. I was only able to catch 1 nominee speak - don't know his name but seems to be a fine young man. Great presser!
And that last bit of calling those 2 idiots Liars was cherry on top!

he speaks in a measured tone and answers the questions he's asked, instead of bloviating about random stuff.

My 18 year old son (here until the 25th when college resumes) saw me tearing up and came over to show me that he was the same way. We're going to have a human being as president again.

ETA: I really liked that he went into and explained "The Big Lie".

And amazing that your 18 y-o was tearing up as well. You've raised him well mom.

but he says he is who we need right now...as he says "A Grandpa kind of guy to calm shit down".

He also asked his dad if they should build a guillotine. I told them both that no, they are not allowed to do that.

He knows they know they are repeating the big lie.

I would not welcome Pence at the inauguration. That man is useless. I guess leaving the door open is a good thing. Pence just doesn’t have the spine for it, so that’s where I hang my hat. He won’t show.

I am divided about being wrong.

inauguration, he said "That's the only thing he & i can agree on" Perfect!!

And that bit about how "i've said from day one he's unfit to serve"...he repeated this several times. Good that he's condemning the traitorous Con.

Hawley was elected in 2018 and Cruz was re-elected to a second term that same year.

No more of this beating around the bush BS. If it is a lie, say so. And call the liar out to prove otherwise, which they never can. I really hope Dominion continues suing people for their lies, most recently attorney Sidney Powell, and I also wish the state's secretaries of state and election officials of all jurisdictions would get a class action lawsuit for defamation against everyone from Trump on down. Drag them into court and get them whipped and flogged publicly.
