Joe Biden Blames Donald Trump for January 6 Insurrection

One year ago today Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, after a rousing rally on the Ellipse, in an effort to stop the certification of the 2020 election [click here if you missed that]. 

Joe Biden places the blame squarely on Donald Trump...

One year ago today, democracy was attacked. The will of the people was under assault. And our Constitution faced the gravest of threats.

I’m heading to the Capitol this morning to speak about the day of insurrection, the state of American democracy, and where we go from here.

Here is the truth: The former president of the United States has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.

He’s done so because he values power over principle. Because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or Constitution.
