Statement by President Joe Biden on the Six-Month Anniversary of the January 6th Insurrection on the Capitol
WhiteHouse.gov ^ | July 6, 2021 | Joe Biden

Posted on 07/07/2021 9:32:54 AM PDT by Trump20162020

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.

Eventually the 6th of each month we’ll resurrect Joe’s fake sob story.

There’s that “deadly assault” lie again. The “insurrectionists” killed no one. However, a few years ago, Joe, BLM supporters DID launch a deadly assault on Dallas police, murdering five, and YOU SUPPORT THEM. Joe Biden is a repulsive piece of . . . something.

It’s not an anniversary. Less than one year has elapsed.

At best, it’s a sextimensiversary.

Is he referring to those trespassers egged on by some bad actors?

And they totally ignore the 1954 attack by Puerto Rican Terrorists that left 5 Congressmen wounded.

God bless the 1/6 Patriots, who protested the coup against the POTUS and a stolen election. Many are being held without bail in third world conditions, on trumped up charges. Political prisoners all, thankfully President Trump has started speaking out against this injustice. Biden is not my President.

Translation:
We stole the election and you damn Republicans are going to be purged. The repression has only started. We have used the fbi to find out who was in the area on Jan 6, and we have thrown them in solitary without bail.

We will not tolerate dissent. You will obey your fuerher!

Every Divine Liturgy, we Orthodox Christians pray for “captives and their salvation”—i.e., their release from unjust imprisonment. Traditionally, I think about Kosovo Serbs in enclaves, and the Serbian prisoners in The Hague.

Now we must add the political prisoners who are in captivity because of their alleged or actual participation in the Jan 6 Capitol event. They are held in solitary confinement under brutal conditions, and abused by guards who mistreat them for reasons of racial hatred.

https://en-volve.com/2021/06/15/jan-6-protestors-speak-out-on-beatings-and-torture-being-inflicted-on-them-in-jail/

The mistreatment of these prisoners should really be brought before international human rights organizations!!!! The biden-harris administration deserves universal condemnation for this vile mistreatment!!!! And of course these people—our fellow citizens—need our prayers!!!!

Why haven’t any of these political prisoners in solitary confinement for trespassing been charged with insurrection or treason? When will the capitol cop be charged with murder for the only death in the building that day?

What white house nit wit wrote this for him? Six months is not an anniversary. Not to mention the rest of the lies.

Considering that it was 2 cadets from The Citadel in Charleston that fired on the Star of the West and started an "insurrection" it is kinda ironic that Biden's statement used that phrase. Course he's just reading what's on his crib card.

This is nothing but to distract from the REAL insurrection that was the 2020 election that was stolen by fraud.

WARNING: This is only a preview. Next January, expect the MSM and Dems to gin up a PR campaign that the 1/6 demonstrations were worser than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 put together.

Make no doubt about it. Junta Joe is trying to make the patriots who protested his stolen election into subhumans. That will make it easier for them to crush us later. Here are the revised slogans for the new and improved Ministry of Truth:

Islam is Peace

Capitalism is Slavery.

Diversity is Strength.

NOT AN ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! You forgot that one!

An anniversary is the celebration or remembering of an event that took ONE year or many years previously on that date.
The anniversary of the, so called, “Insurrection,” is January 6 2022.

Damn, I hate to see idiots like Biden using an incorrect word to recall a troubling event.
SHEESH!
