Twitter users took issue with a statement made by President Joe Biden about late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
On Sunday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre posted a statement made by Biden on Twitter, saying, “When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, eighty-one years ago today, it ushered in one of the most shameful periods in American history.”
Podcast host Stephen Miller replied, “Hey who is that in the center stage portrait above the Oval Office fire place?”
The photo shows a portrait of FDR hanging above Biden’s head.
One user asked, “How long till FDR gets rewritten as a Republican?”
Writer Kimberly Morin argued, “Biden behaved exactly like FDR when he pushed his covid vax mandate. That’s actually probably even worse because the vaccines kill some people.”
Another user replied, “History will view your vaccine mandates the same way.”

In Biden’s full statement, he remembered the “wrongful incarceration of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent.”
The statement continues, “And in a tragic miscarriage of justice, the Supreme Court upheld these immoral and unconstitutional policies.”
