Biden Says Trump Lacked 'Courage To Act' During Jan. 6 Riot

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden decried his predecessor for failing to try and stop last year’s deadly mob attack on the Capitol, saying Monday that “Donald Trump lacked the courage to act” as hours of “medieval hell” unfolded. Then, on Jan. 6, we relied on law enforcement to save our democracy,” Biden said in a prerecorded speech to the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives’ annual conference in Orlando, Florida. And for three hours, the defeated former president of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office.” He added that while Trump was “doing that, brave law enforcement officers are subject to the medieval hell for three hours.” That referenced Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump administration White House aide, testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee about Trump’s temper as he sat in his dining room and watched TV as his plans to overturn the election fell apart. Jean-Pierre offered no comment about that speech on Monday, saying, “I don’t know what he’s coming to talk about.” In his pre-taped comments, Biden noted that law enforcement officers during the insurrection were “dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage, face-to-face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated president.”
