While speaking at a campaign rally in Maryland, Biden compared the philosophy of MAGA Republicans to “semi-fascism” and said they are a “threat to our very democracy.”
“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said during his speech, “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

Gilbert expressed her thoughts on Biden’s comments, during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
“It’s just honestly quite comical, it’s insulting, it’s ridiculous. I think that’s where his legacy is going to be is his inability to put forward good policies that can fix the problems,” Gilbert said in reaction to Biden blasting MAGA Republicans.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is a great example. We continue to face incredibly high inflation, higher than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, the highest in 41 years. The Inflation Reduction Act — we all want to reduce inflation, but it’s not gonna fix the problem,” she concluded.
The Manchin-Schumer climate and tax bill, labeled the Inflation Reduction Act, was recently signed into law by Biden and is expected to cost Americans hundreds of billions over the next few years. The legislation was passed after the economy entered into a technical recession when the gross domestic product (GDP) dropped for a second consecutive quarter from April-June.
