<p>Former Atlanta Mayor and current senior White House adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) said during an interview Sunday morning that President Joe Biden&#8217;s speech demonizing millions of Americans as extremist threats to the U.S. was needed because the administration believes it has to &#8220;call out hatred.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ahead of the president&#8217;s speech, The White House was insistent the speech would be optimistic, was about bringing people together yet in it, Biden said President Trump&#8217;s MAGA supporters are a danger to democracy,&#8221; ABC&#8217;s Martha Raddatz said on &#8220;This Week.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How is that a unifying message?&#8221; Raddatz asked.</p>
<p>Bottoms responded by claiming that Biden&#8217;s goal was to remind &#8220;the American people of who we are as a country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, the president spoke optimistically about who we are as Americans,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;We are the greatest nation in the world. But also a reminder that we have to be intentional about being the greatest nation in the world and that we have to call out hatred. We have to call out this balance and that if we don’t, our democracy is in danger.&#8221;</p>
