President Joe Biden on Thursday offered a stark warning against the dangers posed by an “extremist” and antidemocratic Maga movement led by former president Donald Trump in remarks in Arizona paying tribute to late Republican senator John McCain.
Speaking in Tempe, Arizona, Mr Biden opened by quoting the farewell letter Mr McCain had written to be published after his death, a letter which called the US the “world’s greatest republic” that was founded on “ideals, not blood and soil”.
“John was right — every other every other nation in the world has been founded on either grouping by ethnicity, religion, background. We're the most unique nation in the world ... founded on an idea ... that we are all created equal,” he said.
