President Joe Biden on Friday morning said he doesn’t consider Trump supporters to be a “threat” to the United States following a polarizing political speech he made on Thursday night in which he claimed “MAGA Republicans” are a threat to the U.S. republic.

“I don’t consider any Trump supporters a threat to the country,” Biden told reporters Friday. “I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, refuses to acknowledge an election ... changing the way you count votes, that is a threat to democracy,” Biden said, without elaborating.
