Now, I want to be very clear - (applause) - very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.ĭonald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. That is the work of my presidency, a mission I believe in with my whole soul.īut first, we must be honest with each other and with ourselves. That sacred flame still burns now in our time as we build an America that is more prosperous, free, and just. We, the people, have burning inside each of us the flame of liberty that was lit here at Independence Hall - a flame that lit our way through abolition, the Civil War, Suffrage, the Great Depression, world wars, Civil Rights. We must never forget: We, the people, are the true heirs of the American experiment that began more than two centuries ago. So tonight, I have come this place where it all began to speak as plainly as I can to the nation about the threats we face, about the power we have in our own hands to meet these threats, and about the incredible future that lies in front of us if only we choose it. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world.īut as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth. These two documents and the ideas they embody - equality and democracy - are the rock upon which this nation is built. This is where we set in motion the most extraordinary experiment of self-government the world has ever known with three simple words: “We, the People.” “We, the People.” This is where the United States Constitution was written and debated. This is where America made its Declaration of Independence to the world more than two centuries ago with an idea, unique among nations, that in America, we’re all created equal. I speak to you tonight from sacred ground in America: Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans, please, if you have a seat, take it.
