Biden acknowledged that freedom and democracy are under attack at home, but it seems he forgot that the attack on freedom is coming from his unelected agency heads who are creating rules without public comment or Congressional oversight.
“Freedom and democracy are under attack at home and abroad.” Indeed, @POTUS. And we all have an obligation to defend democracy and reject political violence regardless of party. #SOTU
