Washington, D.C. – President Joe Biden condemned former President Donald Trump’s false claims regarding the 2020 election, highlighting that the true attempt to steal the election came from Trump himself during the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Since the insurrection, Trump has made attempts to distort the events, referring to the violent mob as “peaceful” and labeling the perpetrators as “hostages.” He has also expressed intentions to pardon those involved if he were to be elected again.
In response, Biden took to social media to address Trump’s revisionist narrative, asserting that the truth of the events on January 6 is undeniable. A video shared by the President juxtaposes Trump’s claims of “love and unity” with real footage from the riot, exposing the violent assault on democracy carried out by the pro-Trump supporters.
Through his personal account, Biden accused Trump of trying to rewrite history as he aims to erase the reality of the Capitol attack. The President emphasized that the violence perpetrated by Trump’s mob was not a peaceful protest but a direct assault on the foundations of American democracy.
In his ongoing efforts to combat the revisionist rhetoric, Biden continues to shed light on the truth of the insurrection and the threat it posed to democracy. The President’s unwavering stance against misinformation and attempts to manipulate historical events underscores his commitment to upholding the integrity of the democratic process.
