Trump on Saturday traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Penn. to support Republican candidates in the upcoming gubernatorial and state Senate elections. During his speech, the former president blasted the FBI as “vicious monsters” after searching his Florida home and called Biden an “enemy of the state” for condemning the Trump movement during a recent speech on hour. “Well, it’s weird,” Lofgren said when asked about the latest comment during an appearance on “CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta.” “President Biden warned Americans about extremism in his speech in Philadelphia, and the former president is proving his case,” he continued. “To call out law enforcement as vicious enemies, I understand that he identified an FBI agent by name on his social media, potentially exposing that law enforcement official to threats that we’ve seen.” Biden’s speech on Thursday portrayed Trump and his “MAGA” movement as a threat to democracy. Republicans characterized the speech as divisive and condescending, but White House officials pushed back, arguing that defending democracy is not a partisan issue. “If we want to be precise about it, as threats to democracy and as enemies of the state — you are all enemies of the state,” Trump said. “[Biden’s] enemy of the state, you know that? He and the group that controls him are enemies of the state.” Trump Says Fox News Pushing ‘Democrat Agenda’ Offers To Help CNN Go ‘Conservative’ Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Dies From New York City Skyscraper Trump has also repeatedly attacked the FBI after executing a search warrant at his Florida home, accusing the agency of pursuing its investigation for political reasons. Lofgren also pushed back against those who said Biden had tarnished the entire Republican party with his comments. “The Republican voters I know here in my district — they didn’t steal classified documents and put them in a little room outside their pool,” Lofgren told Acosta. “The former president did that.”
