Joe Biden Claims MAGA ‘Most Extreme Political Organization in Recent American History’

CLAIM: “This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”

VERDICT: FALSE. MAGA is not an extremist group, while there are several examples of actual extremist groups in the U.S.

President Joe Biden attacked MAGA — the acronym for former President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again” — in remarks Wednesday about the impending Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion case.

Biden claimed, falsely, that the draft majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito would endanger other rights — ignoring the fact that Alito explicitly said it did not affect other rights, and limited the holding to abortion alone: “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” (Breitbart News fact-checked Biden on this point Tuesday.)
