President Joe Biden’s graduating speech at Howard University recently sparked a heated debate among the hosts of the well-liked Fox News programmed Outnumbered. White supremacy, according to Biden, is the most serious terrorist threat to the nation. He emphasized this during his speech.
The hosts of Outnumbered, joining the chorus of right-wing critics, expressed their disapproval of Biden’s remarks and accused him of betraying his promise to unite the nation. Harris Faulkner, one of the panelists, argued that Biden was focusing solely on issues of race to appease the African-American college students in attendance, rather than addressing a broader range of concerns.
Faulkner exclaimed, “Come on! You don’t have to victimize us to reach us, but that’s what he does. No one is putting us in chains!” This sentiment echoed the belief that Biden’s speech perpetuated a sense of victimhood among marginalized communities.
Another panelist, Guy Benson, concurred with Faulkner’s criticism, suggesting that Biden’s remarks were an example of political pandering. They discussed the strategic implications of Biden’s words and how they fit into his overall political calculations. Emily Compagno chimed in, describing the speech as uninspiring and arguing that it was evidence of Biden’s failure to fulfill his promise of being a unifying president.
Taking a more extreme stance, Lisa Boothe went as far as declaring Biden “the most divisive president in American history” and accused him of making racist statements. Boothe claimed that Biden’s remarks on white supremacy were racially biased, asserting that he had made some of the most racist statements of any president in American history.
Benson offered a nuanced perspective, acknowledging the existence of white supremacy as a fringe and evil ideology. However, he also noted that racism is present across all sides of the political spectrum. Boothe interjected, emphasizing the idea that racism is not limited to any one group. Benson responded by reiterating his point about white supremacy specifically, suggesting that Biden’s focus on it as the biggest threat in Washington, D.C. lacked self-awareness given the various challenges faced by the city.
The discussion on Outnumbered highlighted the divergent opinions surrounding Biden’s speech and his approach to addressing issues of race and unity. It reflected the broader societal debates on how to effectively tackle the persistent problem of white supremacy while fostering a sense of unity among diverse communities.
