Psaki Claims Biden Came Up With Ridiculous “Ultra-MAGA” Label All on His Own

President Joe Biden came up with the term “ultra-MAGA” on his own to give it “a little extra pop,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday.

Biden first uttered the term last week, and it has featured in his speeches and schedule announcements since. It’s a reference to former President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” and what Biden describes as extreme policy positions from congressional Republicans.

When asked where the “ultra” part came from, Psaki said it was Biden’s idea.

“It’s the president’s phrase, and the president made those comments himself,” she said. “What struck him is how extreme some of the policies and proposals are” from “a certain wing of the Republican Party, which is taking up too much of the Republican Party.”

The press secretary listed abortion access; a proposal from Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) that would make all Americans pay an income tax and would sunset Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s row with Disney as examples.

“It’s also the obsession with culture wars and wars against Mickey Mouse and banning books. The president thinks that’s extreme,” said Psaki. “That’s not what the American people care about or what they want, and so, to [Biden], adding a little ‘ultra’ to it gives it a little extra pop.”
