Biden Once Again Hints At Using Violence On American Citizens: ‘You’d Need An F-16’

While speaking with reporters on Friday, President Biden once again threatened to use military jets on American citizens.

“And I love people who say, the ‘blood of liberty,’ or excuse me, ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots.’ Well guess what man, I didn’t see a whole lot of patriots that are out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons,” Biden said. “And if you really want to worry about the government, you need an F-16.”

Biden was mocking a famous quote from Thomas Jefferson, who said “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” The quote is attributed to a letter written shortly after Shay’s Rebellion in 1787 and reflects Jefferson’s belief that the American people have a right to rebel against a tyrannical government, a view held by a number of founding fathers.
