Trump VP Hopeful Doubles Down On Calling The Biden Administration A 'Dictatorship'
HuffPost
During an appearance on CNN, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum had a weak explanation for why he believes Biden is abusing his power as president.
Gov. Doug Burgum (R-N.D.) dug in his heels while repeating claims that Americans are living under a “dictatorship” with President Joe Biden.
During an appearance on “State of the Union” Sunday, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed the governor to explain why he thinks his political disagreements with Biden make the Democratic president a despot.
“I understand you don’t like President Biden’s policies on immigration or student loans,” Collins told Burgum, a contender for Donald Trump’s 2024 vice presidential spot. “But, respectfully, you’re calling the democratically elected president a dictator.”
Citing Biden’s use of executive orders, Burgum said, “I just think that there’s again a double standard here. He is bypassing the other two branches of government to push an ideological view of — whether it’s on economics or whether it’s on climate extremism — he’s doing that without using the other branches.”
Collins pushed back, telling the governor, “I don’t think anyone expects the Republican governor to agree with President Biden on that. But it’s not a dictatorship.”
