'You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy,' Biden said in remarks to a law enforcement group.
made the remarks Monday in a speech to a meeting of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. Previously, Biden has rarely addressed the attack of January 6, 2021, and the actions of his predecessor that day. The stinging remarks arrived days after a hearing by the House committee investigating the siege, in which the panel shared its conclusion that Trump had watched television as police were left to defend the Capitol from the mob.
"Every day we rely on law enforcement to save lives," said Biden, who has COVID-19 and gave the speech remotely to the group meeting in Orlando, Florida."Then, on January 6, we relied on law enforcement to save our democracy." President Joe Biden said his predecessor, ex-President Donald Trump, lacked courage for not taking action as law enforcement was attacked during the insurrection of January 6, 2021. Above, a photo illustration from July 25, 2022, from a cell phone in Washington, D.C., shows a tweet from Biden slamming Trump.
