US President Joe Biden was slammed after he made controversial statements, mocking supporters of the Second Amendment during his speech in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
During his speech, the president spoke about his latest “Safer America” agenda, promoting efforts to support law enforcement to combat the increasing crime rates in the United States.
However, the president managed to sneak in another agenda, attacking Republicans for opposing actions on gun control and blasted citizens supporting his political opponents.
The president specifically blasted the supporters and defenders of the second amendment that protects citizens’ rights to self-defense against foreign enemies and a tyrannical government.
“For those brave right-wing Americans who say it’s all about keeping America independent and safe, if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15. You need something more than a gun,” President Biden said.
Biden’s statements sparked public outrage on social media, with netizens attacking him for being tone-deaf and criticizing American citizens while others blasted Biden and brought up the one-year anniversary of Biden’s Afghanistan pullout, where several US weapons, including F-15s, were left behind for Taliban forces.
The president has been saying this for years but it's less and less congruent with how even his own administration has played out. How many F-15s did the Taliban have when Biden decided to surrender Afghanistan to them? https://t.co/2wK1idyQyS

“The only F-15s the Taliban had when they fought against our country were the ones Biden left in Afghanistan for them,” X Strategies senior digital strategist Greg Price said in a tweet.
“The president has been saying this for years but it’s less and less congruent with how even his own administration has played out. How many F-15s did the Taliban have when Biden decided to surrender Afghanistan to them?” Reload founder Stephen Gutowski questioned.
Moreover, Red State deputy managing editor Brandon Morse also said jokingly, “I’d say he’s ignoring the Eric Holder ‘Fast and Furious’ scandal but it’s Biden and it’s very likely that he actually forgot.”
“This is a stupid comment that shows the constitutional and historical illiteracy of the dumbest president in living memory,” radio host Buck Sexton lamented.
Former Babylon Bee senior writer Frank Fleming also mocked Biden and said, “Hey, he’s copying one of my old The Babylon Bee articles. ‘Emperor Palpatine Urges Citizens To Give Up Their Blasters Since They’d Need A Death Star To Beat The Empire.’”
The Federalist senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland said in a tweet, “So, ‘Safer America’ means, …checks notes: A government threatening its citizens with F-15s.q.”
