“The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies,” because “his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our Constitution,” President Joe Biden said.
President Joe Biden said an attack like that on the U.S. Capitol a year ago must never happen again, as he blasted former President Donald Trump for spreading what he called a “web of lies” about the 2020 election.
Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke, saying she tells young people that January 6 reveals both the fragility and strength of democracy. “We cannot let our future be decided by those bent on silencing our voices, overturning our votes, and peddling lies and misinformation,” she said, urging lawmakers to move forward with stalled voting-rights bills. Biden made the same plea.
A year ago, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop the transfer of power to the new president. The ex-president, who canceled remarks planned for Thursday, has continued to falsely claim that the election was “stolen.” Speaking on Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed to hold accountable anyone who was responsible for last year’s insurrection, whether they were physically there or not.In a speech to Justice Department employees, Garland said prosecutors remained “committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law.”
