The Summoning Of The Devil
A RED LIGHT? ? A podium? Two uniformed U.S. Marines? Looks like the summoning of Satan if you ask the GOP.
President Joe Biden delivered one of his presidency’s strongest condemnations of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in a prime-time speech on the steps of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The stage was lit in alternating bands of blue and red.
Fox chose a close up, framing the President entirely within the red portion of the lighting. The image evoked the unholy for many Republicans — despite red being the party’s official color.
“He looked like he was in the depths of hell,” former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley told Fox News on Friday.
Former assistant treasury secretary Monica Crowely struck a similar chord Thursday night. “The imagery there was almost satanic, with that blood-red lighting and the two Marines behind him,” she said on Fox News. “It was just insane.”
If Biden’s stagecraft and message wasn’t evoking Satan, it was evoking Adolf Hitler. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video where Biden’s features were edited to resemble the Nazi dictator.

Fox News host Tucker Calrson described the setting as a “blood-red Nazi background.”
Others took the opportunity to compare Biden to a Sith lord.
Former first son Donald Trump Jr. implored his followers to consider what would happen if his father had ever maligned an entire group of voters in such a manner and, of course, Twitter always remembers. Well, the Internet has a log memory:
