Joe Biden Plans Political Anti-Trump Tirade for January 6th Anniversary
Charlie Spiering 5 Jan 2022
President Joe Biden expects to target former President Donald Trump during his speech on Capitol Hill Thursday, marking the first anniversary of the January 6th protests of the 2020 election.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki previewed the speech for reporters at the White House on Wednesday, noting that Biden believed that Trump had “singular responsibility” for the riots on that day and would call him out directly.
“President Biden has been clear-eyed about the threat the former President represents to our democracy and how the former President constantly works to undermine basic American values and rule of law,” she said.
The president’s speech is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Capitol Hill.
Despite Biden repeatedly claiming he does not think much about Trump, the former president will be very much on his mind on January 6th.
“The President is going to speak to the truth of what happened, not the lies that some have spread since, and the peril it posed to the rule of law and our system of democratic governance,” she said.
Psaki said Biden believed the January 6th protests were “a tragic culmination” of Trump’s years as president.
“President Biden has, of course, spoken repeatedly about how the former President abused his office, undermined the Constitution, and ignored his oath to the American people in an effort to amass more power for himself and his allies,” Psaki said.
Biden plans to take a political angle in his speech to promote Democrat opposition to the Republican-led effort to pass election security laws across the country.
“He will also speak to the work we still need to do to secure and strengthen our democracy and our institutions to reject the hatred and lies we saw on January 6th and to unite our country,” Psaki continued.
