The watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Defense for records about the use of Marines as backdrops for President Joe Biden’s controversial Sept. 1, 2022, campaign speech in Philadelphia.
Critics accused Biden of using the Marines as "props" during the political speech in which he called “MAGA Republicans” a threat to democracy.
Speaking on Sept. 1, 2022 in front of a red backdrop, and flanked by two Marines, Biden claimed Donald Trump supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
See video of speech below:
Biden’s infamous ‘Red Speech,’ which included the abuse of our Marines in its totalitarian imagery, painted a target on Trump and tens of millions of Americans for political suppression and worse. And, to make matters worse, the Pentagon is violating federal law by hiding records about Biden’s misuse of our military in his attempt to intimidate Americans.
Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch President
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the Department of Defense failed to comply with an Oct. 31, 2022 FOIA request for all communications within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Navy, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Commandant of Marine Corps – and those shared with the White House Military Office and Office of the President – regarding Marines standing behind the President during his speech in Philadelphia.

…..and the funny thing is he could care less about the Marine detachment always near him.
Biden is completely unaware of his surroundings. It's something to do with demetia. One of his juvenile handlers thought it would make Biden look stronger if he had the Marines in the back drop.
Biden is an A-- H--- of the worst kind he miss used them ,in his now forgotten exit from Afghanistan with NO apology . The no good SOB should have been Court Martialed and sent to prison forever. Lets Go Brandon!!!!
how do we know they weren't actors, as in: rent-a-marine?
I wonder if those men volunteered?
Whether you like it or not, he is still the Commander in Chief. A person in the military, salutes the CIC or a superior officer in rank but not necessarily the man. I imagine that these two Marines drew the short of the stick and had to do their duty, no matter how distasteful it was. FJB
