Biden Says House Lawmaker Is Not a ‘MAGA Republican’ – He Implied Something Different Days Ago

President Joe Biden appears to be changing his tune about whether a House lawmaker is a “MAGA Republican.”
Last year, Biden started tossing out the phrase “MAGA Republican” or “Ultra MAGA” as a pejorative. In May 2022, he claimed, “This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”
And since then “MAGA Republican” has essentially been used to describe any Republican who doesn’t do what he wants. It is pretty much the Left’s version of “woke” — which has also become an amorphous term to criticize progressive ideas.
But on Wednesday, the president sought to single out one House Republican as allegedly not being a “MAGA Republican.”
Speaking about Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Biden said, “Republican Congressman Mike Lawler is here as well.”
“Mike’s on the other team, but … the kind of Republican I was used to dealing with,” he continued, adding, “He’s not one of these MAGA Republicans… I don’t want to get him in trouble by saying anything nice about him.”

Just over a week ago, Biden implied something different.
On May 8, he tweeted from the @POTUS account, “Gutting education is the last thing this country needs. But MAGA House Republicans voted on a bill that could cut up to 60,000 teaching jobs – affecting more than 25 million kids.”
The post included a graphic with a red background and text that stated, “217 House Republicans voted to cut education funding.” It also displayed a picture of Republicans who voted for the legislation — including Lawler.
