Trump VP Hopeful Declares, ‘Under Joe Biden, We’re Actually Living Under a Dictatorship’

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who is on Donald Trump’s vice presidential shortlist, said the United States under President Joe Biden is a “dictatorship.”

Burgum joined Wednesday’s installment of The Story on Fox News, where host Martha MacCallum played a montage of political pundits fretting over a potential dictatorship if the former president returns to the White House.

MacCallum remarked on “a number of people in the media talking about the possibility of imprisonment for people who disagree with former President Trump, people being put in camps, that the entire system of government would be under collapse pressure under a second trump term.”

“Well, Martha, I think you know that this is just ridiculous,” Burgum replied. “The Democrats seem to have two strategies. One is, be afraid. And the second strategy is, be even more afraid.”

The governor then tried to flip the narrator by accusing Biden of being dictatorial.

“Under Joe Biden, we’re actually living under a dictatorship today, where he’s, you know, bypassing Congress on immigration policies, bypassing Congress on protecting our border, he’s bypassing Congress on a student loan forgiveness, and he’s defying the Supreme Court. I mean, those are the things that authoritarians and dictators do, is, they don’t follow our democratic processes and they just assert their own liberal view. And that’s what the Biden administration’s doing.”

Burgum went on to say that Democrats are alarmed by the president’s poor poll numbers and are fear-mongering to help reelect Biden.
