Psaki said the harsh criticism of Biden’s speech on voting rights in Georgia was “hilarious given how many people sat silently” during Trump’s presidency.
“I know there has been a lot of claims of the offensive nature of the speech yesterday, which is hilarious on many levels, given how many people sat silently over the last four years for the former president. But I would note that in our view and the president’s view, what is far more offensive is the effort to suppress people’s basic right to exercise who they want to support and who they want to elect,” Psaki said.
Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, voted to convict Trump in two Senate impeachment trials and harshly criticized him during the 2016 campaign. Biden spoke in Atlanta to push for a pair of federal election reform bills that cannot pass the Senate because of Republican opposition. Biden urged centrist Democrats to lower the usual 60 vote threshold for legislation to 50 votes to allow the bills to pass.
