Biden Delivers Jan 6 Anniversary Address -- Condemns Trump for "Gross Betrayal" (2022-01-06)
President Biden delivers a speech from the Capitol's Statuary Hall on the one-year anniversary of the January 6 attack, directly condemning Donald Trump for spreading the "big lie" and inciting the insurrection. Biden declares that Trump "cannot be allowed to change the facts" and that "the former president of the United States has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election." The address marks the first time a sitting president has explicitly blamed his predecessor for an attack on the Capitol, reinforcing the contrast between democratic accountability and norm-breaking.
