President Joe Biden has called for former President Donald Trump to be “politically” locked up.

On Tuesday, Biden made the comment during an event in Concord, New Hampshire referring to when Trump had called to imprison Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential race. 

Biden said Trump wants to eliminate his political advisors and detractors. 

“He thinks he has a version of the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able to, if need be, if it was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot, kill someone who he believes to be a threat to him,” Biden told his supporters. 

“I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up,” he added. “We got to lock him up. Politically lock him up. Lock him out. That’s what we have to do.”

He also stated that Trump supporters have “anti-democratic” attitudes. 

“We’re dealing with a totally different breed of cat now,” he said. “That was— the civil rights era was terrible. But we have a group now that is just literally, and I’m not one that is prone to hyperbole, but we have a group running the MAGA Republicans who have an anti-democratic attitude toward the way the Constitution functions.”

Many Democrats, including presidential candidate Kamala Harris, have stated that Trump poses a threat to democracy.
