BREAKING: President Joe Biden marks the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, saying 'democracy held' when rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol and that former President Donald Trump 'failed.'
“There is truth and there are lies,” Biden said at the time. “Lies told for power and for profit. And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders — leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.”
To honor the anniversary, Pelosi has scheduled a moment of silence in the House, where many members were evacuated andas the rioters tried to break in. She will also deliver private remarks to Hill staff who, as she told AP, stayed to “protect our democracy.”
