The following is copied and pasted from Politico:

"Exuberant over a string of recent legislative victories, and launching his midterm campaigning in earnest, President Joe Biden swaggered into Maryland on Thursday and excoriated his predecessor’s philosophy as “semi-fascism,” in what constituted an unusually pointed and highly charged denunciation of Republicans.

“'What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden told Democratic donors in the Washington suburb of Rockville. Calling out those he labeled as “extreme” Republicans, Biden said: “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

"Later, at a national Democratic Party event before a few thousand people packed into a nearby high school gym, Biden added: “I respect conservative Republicans. I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”

“T'here are not many real Republicans anymore,” Biden added.

From LPR -- If a Republican said this of Democrats, the media would denounce and condemn him for hate speech.  When Biden refers to "conservative Republicans" he means Republlicans like former House Speaker Paul Ryan who let House Democrats persecute President Trump with Mueller over a  lying, baseless, despicable allegation that Mr. Trump was a creature of the Russians.  And when Biden refers to "real Republicans" he probably has in mind turncoats like LIz Cheney who will rush to serve the lying Democrats.
