The first anniversary of the U.S. Congress riots Biden will speak that Trump bears sole responsibility

According to Reuters, the White House said that US President Joe Biden will commemorate the first anniversary of the Riots in the Capitol on January 6, local time. At that time, Biden will tell the American people that former President Trump has a "single responsibility" for the incident.

According to reports, Biden and Vice President Harris will make a statement at the US Capitol on the morning of the 6th. On this day a year ago, Trump supporters violently broke into the Capitol in an attempt to block the Electoral College's vote certification.

Since taking office as president in January 2021, Biden and his top aides have been reluctant to talk directly about Trump, even as he continues to spread lies about his defeat.

White House Press Secretary Psaki said that On Jan. 6, Biden "will state the significance of the Capitol incident and President Trump's single responsibility for the unrest and killings we have seen, and Biden will forcefully push back against the lies spread by the former president that seek to mislead the American people and his own supporters and distract attention from his role in the incident." ”

Trump canceled a press conference scheduled for the evening of the 6th at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, accusing the House of Representatives of its investigation into the attack and the news media as "biased and dishonest." A Trump spokesman also said it was "not surprising" that Biden "tried to further divide our country" on Jan. 6 and that "splitting is the only thing Democrats know how to do."

The White House said Biden would push back at Trump's erroneous claims that his defeat was the result of widespread fraud and that Trump was trying to downplay the Capitol attack.

Mr. Psaki said Biden had always "clearly seen the threat this former president poses to our democracy and how this former president has continually undermined fundamental American values and the rule of law." Biden believes the deadly attack was "the tragic culmination of what President Trump has done to our country during his four years in office."

One U.S. administration official said Harris would use her speech to "outline that U.S. practice is being tested and that we must work to secure the right to vote, ensure free and fair elections, and guard our democracy for future generations." ”
