That Gorsuchian reading of the quotation aside, it’s just so clear in context that what Biden is actually saying is, “if you destroy stuff or light stuff on fire that isn’t yours, that’s bad”—not, “we should arrest people based on what books they own.”

To get the ‘thoughtcrime’ reading out of what Biden said, you gotta really *want* to get it. That’s kind of my point.
