Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff Ronald Klain recently told MSNBC that Americans got “one final warning” from the president to stop questioning the nation’s election system during his Wednesday midterm speech.
Klain accused Americans of spreading “the Big Lie,” alluding to the widespread belief that Biden is an illegitimate president who achieved victory during the 2020 election through massive levels voter fraud and other corrupt irregularities.
“The President decided a few days ago that it was important to, uh, issue one final warning on this issue, to make very clear, to leave no doubt, that we have people out there still peddling the Big Lie, people now raising the issue of election denial in this election,” Klain said.

During his speech, Biden accused Republicans of attempting to “suppress the right of voters and subvert the electoral system itself.”
“That means denying your right to vote and deciding whether your vote even counts,” he claimed.

Rather than accurately point out that Republicans are concerned with election integrity and expect election officials not to commit crimes, the president accused them of emboldening “violence and intimidation of voters and election officials.”
“We don’t settle our differences in America with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer, we settle them peaceably at the battle — ballot box.”
Biden also claimed that “democracy itself” will collapse if Republicans prove victorious in the midterms.
The president also pushed back on claims that his own election was corrupt and basesly stated that “there’s no election in our history that we can be more certain of its results.”

“We must vote knowing what’s at stake and not just the policy of the moment,” Biden said. “But institutions that have held us together as we sought a more perfect union, they’re also at stake.”
