Biden Makes Sick Comment About Murdering Foremen as Speech Goes Off the Rails

Satan’s earthly followers often engage in behavior that seems designed to maximize their malevolent entertainment.

To start, they craft a populist enemy and employ state power to crush it. Official propaganda and dramatic trials usually suffice. Demons revel in the lies that must be told in the process, grinning with satisfaction.

Then, when the events are distant enough that memories have faded—perhaps 150 years later—another of their well-placed, thoroughly deranged followers emerges. This minion, who has ironically created and persecuted his own populist enemy, retells the original story in such a way that he appears to be aligned with the oppressed! The demons howl with laughter as they mock us through this twisted narrative.

On Monday, at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the cognitively impaired President Joe Biden resurfaced from his marathon vacation to deliver a Labor Day speech supporting Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

During his speech, Biden resurrected and personalized a legend from 150 years ago.

In a clip shared on the social media platform X, the president recounted a story about his great-grandfather. Allegedly—one must always use the word “allegedly” with Biden’s tales—his great-grandfather was accused by early 20th-century political opponents of being associated with the Molly Maguires.

Biden then spent about 30 seconds linking the Molly Maguires to 19th-century Irish immigrants working in Pennsylvania’s coal mines.

“But a lot of the English owned the coal mines,” the president explained. “And what they did was, they’d really beat the hell out of the mostly Catholic population that was in the mines. Not a joke. Not a joke.”

Biden, a pro-abortion autocrat who claims to be Catholic, emphasized his Irish heritage to appear empathetic toward the Irish Catholics who labored in the coal mines of the 19th century.

“But there was a group called the Molly Maguires. And the Molly Maguires, if they found out the foreman was taking advantage of an individual, they’d literally kill him,” the president recounted, in his characteristically disjointed manner.

Biden then steered the story in a grim direction.

“And they’d bring his body up and put it on the doorstep of his family,” the president stated. “Kinda crude. But I gotta admit, they accused my great-grandfather [of] being a Molly Maguire. He wasn’t. But we were so damned disappointed.”

“No, that’s a joke,” he added as the crowd chuckled.

The full story of the Molly Maguires would take many pages to tell, but a few key points should highlight the bitter irony in Biden’s recounting.

First, the Molly Maguires did indeed exist as a secret society in mid-19th century Ireland. According to the American Philosophical Society, the Mollies acted “as a semi-legendary vigilante group that had fought Irish landlords for tenants’ rights.” They sometimes resorted to violence.

When these Irish immigrants came to America in large numbers, they brought with them a reputation as unruly rebels.

In the 1870s—a decade marked by violence and the rise of organized labor—railroad and coal barons regarded the Irish with suspicion. For example, the president of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company hired a detective to infiltrate Irish workers' organizations.

According to the National Canal Museum in Easton, Pennsylvania, the detective’s report led to the 1877 hanging of ten workers accused of murder, arson, and kidnapping. The detective, employed by the coal and iron company president, claimed that the men not only committed these crimes but were also members of a Molly Maguires chapter operating in America.

However, the modern state archives of Pennsylvania cast significant doubt on the detective’s claims.

“No one has ever produced a primary source document proving that the Molly Maguires existed as such” in Pennsylvania, according to the state archives website.

It didn’t matter, though, because the coal and iron company president succeeded in destroying organized labor, which was his goal all along.

This tale bears striking and ironic parallels to the present day.

In essence, powerful individuals feared a populist uprising. So they created a scapegoat out of the powerless and used paid agents to infiltrate one of their groups. The powerful accused many, killed some, and imprisoned others based on weak evidence. Ultimately, the narrative served the interests of those powerful individuals.

Indeed, one can almost hear the demons laughing as Biden, who serves the powerful, pretends to be an ally of the oppressed.
