MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Biden’s State of the Union speech was like a punch in the face to Republicans.
She said Biden rooted the threats facing the country in major crises like World War II and the Civil War, then directly quoted Ronald Reagan, which she felt was a punch to Republicans in the room.
Wallace said, “This was his how about them apples speech. We have watched this before. I think that was grabbing the room. He started with World War II and the Civil War and rooted the threat facing our country from my predecessor in those two epic battles and he quoted Ronald Reagan. It was like a a punch in the face to every Republican in the room and this is how it started. This was the first 120 seconds.”
Wallace said Biden’s speech routed the address in routing current issues back to those major historical battles, then following it with a Reagan quote, which she said was another punch.
By the end, she said Lindsey Graham was chuckling and Mike Johnson’s face told the story of the impact.
Wallace felt Biden’s speech was a strong message for Democrats going into the midterms and that taking on his own age three times showed he’s not afraid to defend himself against Republican attacks.
“He routed the address in that and then he quoted Reagan and that was a punch in the nose. It’s why in the end Lindsey Graham was chuckling like it was John McCain over there. It was sort of the waiving of the white flag. Mike Johnson’s face I think told the whole story. They will be attacking him, and I am sure they will right now or they will be by 11:15 on Fox News but everybody knows this is a great speech. And everybody knows this is the message going into the next eight months but the polls will soon reflect that in this will be a real fight,” she said.
“I think taking on his own age 3 times in the end shows not just Republicans but Democrats he is not afraid of defending himself,” she said.
