Did he just say that?

Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan sparked controversy Tuesday by referring to so called MAGA Republicans and declaring "We've gotta kill and confront that movement."

Appearing on MSNBC, Ryan stated that America needs to "move out of this age of stupidity" and into an "age of reconciliation and reform."

"How do we fix all of these broken systems?" Ryan posited, adding "Some of those answers will come from Republicans. Not the extremists that we're dealing with every single day. We've gotta kill and confront that movement."

Watch:

Even if you accept that he's speaking figuratively, that's an extremely poor choice of words in light of Biden repeatedly declaring half the country as 'extremists'.

Ryan's comments come after Hillary Clinton compared "MAGA Americans" to Al Qaeda, on the anniversary of 9/11:


As we highlighted last week, a Trafalgar Group poll found that a majority believe that Biden's 'battle for the soul of the nation' speech, during which he was bathed in blood red light and flanked by marines, was purposefully designed to "incite conflict."

Now a new survey by the group has found that more than 58 percent of voters believe Biden has further divided the country, with just one in five saying he has provided any unification.

A further poll by conducted by I&I/TIPP has found that almost two-thirds of Americans, 62 percent, agree that the White House's attacks on "MAGA Republicans" has increased division in the country, with even a whopping 73 percent of Democrats agreeing.

In fact, the poll found that more Democrats agreed with the statement than Republicans!
