Not even during the Civil War did insurrectionists breach our Capitol, the citadel of our democracy. But six months ago today, insurrectionists did. They launched a violent and deadly assault on the people’s house, on the people’s representatives, and on the Capitol police sworn to protect them, as our duly elected Congress carried out the sacred ritual of our republic and certified the Electoral College vote.
This was not dissent. It was disorder. It posed an existential crisis and a test of whether our democracy could survive—a sad reminder that there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy.
But while it shocked and saddened the nation and the world, six months later, we can say unequivocally that democracy did prevail—and that we must all continue the work to protect and preserve it. That requires people of goodwill and courage to stand up to the hate, the lies, and the extremism that led to this vicious attack, including determining what happened so that we can remember it and not bury it hoping we forget. It requires all of us working together—Democrats, Republicans, and independents—on behalf of the common good to restore decency, honor, and respect for the rule of law. And it impels our government—both the executive and legislative branches—to take the urgent steps needed to protect the fundamental right to vote.

FUJB and the 1/6 Reichstag whores.
What about the 7 1/2 months anniversary? Will that be the executions?
This statement is absurd and people better wake up. There was a mass demonstration that breached the Capitol.
It wasn’t an insurrection and it wasn’t an “existential threat “ to anything.
It’s very threatening when you have the federal government telling you a frickin demonstration that got out of hand was an armed revolution, and that they are going to act accordingly.
This presidential statement is the “existential threat”.
Oh I see we need national control of elections and universal fraud as the remedy.
God these people are scary and evil.
Not even a real anniversary.
Too bad the White House doesn’t have a Thumbs Down feature. This one would get some serious numbers.
I wish they had a "finger" feature.
Was it a breach if cops invited them to enter?
There should be a monthly ceremony to keep this BS in the headlines.</sarc>
Didn't they do this during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings?
But . . . But . . . But . . . how about those huge piles of bombs, assault rifles, and other scary stuff they found on the insurrectionists? Didn’t you see all the pictures?
This is nuclear hyperbole.
It is. But, he wouldn’t know. He wrote none of it.
Biden wrote that like I wrote that.
It will take the Republicans winning back the House, at the very least, to shelve the fiction that Jan 6 was an insurrection.
Why is it that we hear very little from Republicans anymore?
Fake anniversary for a fake insurrection
Funny how they keep dancing around a civil war. Police stations get damaged more when an unarmed person is shot (not to mention the five finger riot discounts at all the local businesses...)
Don’t give them any ideas..next time the feds will plant a whole bunch of stuff.
What did Hitler say on the anniversary of the Reichstag Fire?
1954. Puerto Rican terrorists open fire from the House gallery, injuring four congressmen.
January 6 was worse, or so we’re told.
“Insurrection” against an election that was stolen fair & square.
