Jan. 6 anniversary: Biden blames Trump for insurrection in speech at Capitol

President Biden on Thursday marked the first anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol with a passionate speech in which he assailed former President Donald Trump for pushing the lie that fueled the attack — and for doing nothing to stop the siege.

In his remarks, Biden did not mention Trump by name. But he repeatedly referenced the former president who fabricated a factless narrative of a stolen election and attempted to overturn the result

It's Trump's fault. It's always Trump's fault.

Biden didn't blame anyone. He just read the words.

If the opposing party rigged an election, an insurrection is what you should expect.

But if a leader continuously lies that the opposing party rigged an election, and enough believed the lie to cause an insurrection, perhaps that leader should be locked up for inciting an insurrection.

The people who stormed the Capitol were 100% WRONG.

But, my theory is that after the Dems tolerated lawlessness of the previous summer, these thugs got the idea that there are no consequences for one's actions.

Remember, the looting, burning, chaos, were "peaceful" demonstrations.
According to the Dems, everything was fine.

The country is fucked-up. There is enough blame to go around.

Maybe someone can explain to me why Dems are soft on crime. Criminals are protected, and law-abiding citizens have no recourse.

This isn't the country I grew up in.

True, they thought Trump would return and pardon them all.

So, the Dems' toleration of lawlessness had nothing to do with it?
God, you are dense.

Unsurprisingly,you missed my point.

They felt protected by their cult leader like BLM felt protected by Harris' statements.

No, I got your point: Everything is Trump's fault.

It certainly is in regards to January 6th
