“Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight,” Sanders said. “In the radical left’s America, Washington taxes you and lights your hard-earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves, and our children are taught to hate one another on account of their race, but not to love one another or our great country.”
She described the president as the “first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”
“That’s not normal. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong,” she said.
“Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols – all while big government colludes with Big Tech to strip away the most American thing there is: your freedom of speech,” she said. “Republicans believe in an America where strong families thrive in safe communities; where jobs are abundant and paychecks are rising; where the freedom our veterans shed their blood to defend is the birthright of every man, woman and child.”
She criticized the administration for the fentanyl crisis fueled by a border crisis.
“The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left,” Sanders said. “The choice is between normal or crazy.”
“America is the greatest country the world has ever known because we are the freest country the world has ever known, with a people who are strong and resilient,” she said.
Sanders told an anecdote of traveling to Iraq with then-President Trump on the day after Christmas in 2018.
“One of the young soldiers yelled from the back, ‘Mr. President, I re-enlisted in the military because of you.’ The President said, ‘and son, I am here because of you,’” Sanders recalled.
