Trump released blistering response to Biden after Jan. 6 speech [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Former President Donald Trump released a statement in response to President Joe Biden’s January 6 address.
- Trump called Biden’s remarks “political theater” and an attempt to distract from how the sitting president has “failed.”
- Biden in his speech said Trump’s “bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution.”
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday responded to President Joe Biden’s fiery speech on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump said Biden’s remarks only deepened political divides in the country.
Trump, in a statement released just as Biden wrapped up his speech in Statuary Hall, called the remarks “political theater.”
“This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed,” Trump said.
Trump said that Biden “used my name today to try to further divide America.” While Biden indirectly blamed Trump for the insurrection and referred to the former president multiple times during the speech, he did not call Trump out by name.
The statement further reiterated Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was rigged, pointing to why the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attacks was “not discussing the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?” and again said the “big lie” was the election itself and not his claims that the result was rigged against him.
“It’s because they don’t have the answers or justifications for what happened. They got away with something, and it is leading to our Country’s destruction,” Trump claimed. “They want all conversation concerning the Election ‘Canceled.’”
Multiple legal maneuvers by Trump and his allies contesting the election results failed in courts across the country, including all the way up to the Supreme Court. Election results certified by each state were also deemed to be valid. The Jan. 6 riot was an attempt by Trump supporters to stop Congress from counting Electoral College votes that affirmed Biden’s victory.
Biden gave a fiery speech on Thursday, calling Trump a “defeated former president” on the anniversary of the Capitol attack.
“He’s not just a former president, he’s a defeated former president,” Biden said. “Defeated by a margin of over 7 million of your votes, and a full and free and fair election. There is simply zero proof the election results were inaccurate.”
“He sees his own interest as more important than his country’s interests, than America’s interest,” Biden continued. “And because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution, he can’t accept he lost.

Whenever a democrat blames the opposite political party of anything, we’ve learned to know they are only describing themselves! It’s time for Joe Biden to act like a POTUS. Since when in American history has a POTUS gone after his political opponents and weaponized his DOJ to his bidding?? America needs to fully wake up before it’s too late!

The worst part of this whole thing is that poll after poll shows that the majority of people in this country know in their hearts that the election was stolen! It’s the blowhards and schemers like Nancy Pelosi that keep the lie going! The people are tired of this! The people want America to be “FREE” again!
WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK BECAUSE WE LOVE AND BELIEVE IN THE USA AND THE AMERICAN VALUES THAT WE GREW UP ON!!!
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA ONCE AGAIN!

I don’t believe you even know what socialism is. People like you are as unamerican as they come. You should read abit and watch something other than just far right pundits like those on fox and worst networks. Stop getting your information off places like facebook, Qanon and sites like that. You need to wake up and open your eyes.

First poll after poll shows over 60% of the country does not believe the election was stolen. If you people could come up with just 1 fact to corroberate your opinion then maybe we could look at what you believe but you cann’t. I believe all of the people that believe like you do are very gullible and can’t see the forest for the trees.

Biden has directed DOJ to investigate. It’s what they do. That’s not weponizing, it is rule by law.. Weponizing federal agencies was used by the previous administration. Hopefully it ended when Trump lost the electacotyion.

Reverend. The values I grew up with included not sexually assaulting women or bragging that you could. I don’t believe Jesus advocated for that and it’s not a frseedom to be reclaimed.

Sounds like we have a sniping for Biden fan still trying to generate more posts on this site. Poll after poll show blowhard Joe has zero support, so you don’t see manufactured votes coming forward to defend him.

Here’s an idea: perhaps we should evaluate his performance as President by what he did and accomplished, rather than by his personality and flaws. That’s what employers do, and the President works for and is answerable to the people

I wonder what Republicans would be saying if Trump won popular and electoral vote and Biden supporters claimed the election was rigged and had violently stormed the capital in the same way that Trump supporters did on Jan 6. Would Tucker Carlson be denying that the insurrection was terrorism?
Would Republicans tolerate the kind of behavior that Trump has perpetrated since the November 2020 election all the way through 2021? Think about it.
