Biden was criticized by some commentators and veterans groups for having Marines behind him during a speech in which he took aim at "MAGA Republicans" and claimed that "equality and democracy are under assault." In 2020, then-candidate Biden told the National Guard he would never put them in the middle of a political dispute and that he would restore respect to civilian-military relations. "But I promise you as president, I'll never put you in the middle of politics or personal vendettas," he said. "I'll never use the military as a prop or as a private militia to violate the rights of fellow citizens. That’s not law and order. You don't deserve that."
