Joe Biden Rips GOP: Don't 'Bury The Truth' About Jan. 6 Attack On Congress
HuffPost
The president called on Republicans to stand up for democracy and stop whitewashing the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
President Joe Biden urged Republicans to stand up for democracy at home and abroad in his State of the Union address on Thursday, criticizing some in the party who are attempting to whitewash the violent Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Biden said that former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election “posed the gravest threat to our democracy since the Civil War” but that ultimately “America stood strong and democracy prevailed” when Congress certified his electoral victory hours after hundreds of Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol.
“My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about Jan. 6. I will not do that,” Biden said, referring to supporters of Trump, the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee.
He added: “Here’s the simple truth: You can’t love your country only when you win.”
