President Biden plans to mark the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
She said more details would be revealed closer to the end of the year about how that day will be remembered.
“To the president, Jan. 6 was one of the darkest days in our democracy. It was a day that our Capitol, our nation’s Capitol, was under attack and I think there’s no question you’ll see us commemorate that day,” she said at a White House press briefing on Monday.
More than 700 people face criminal charges after a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying Mr. Biden’s election victory.
The riot shocked the country but its aftermath has become a high-charged partisan issue on Capitol Hill, where a Democratic-led House committee is currently probing the attack.

I can see it now; “Happy Halloween!”
So we’re celebrating it now? I thought it was a bad thing?
The democrat party is a stinking boiling cauldron of lies and sedition.
President Snow is gonna be on TV?
They don’t want to make this a holiday. That would be a mistake for them.
It would give us something to rally.
Janteenth?
Of course..gotta keep the charade going..its OK to riot, kill, destroy anything you want as long as you vote correctly
Did he celebrate Pearl Harbor bombing too?
Pardon me while I lose my lunch…
It’s gonna be just like 9/11 folks. You’re going to see somber fake news mofos quietly replaying the video and interviewing people who were there, all the past Presidents will be there, there will be a memorial service.
C’mon, now! Worst attack on American soil since 9/11, doncha know?
Why aren’t they celebrating the “inauguration” instead?
80 million people voted for him, you know. That why he’s so popular. Not.
I can think of some good ways to celebrate it.
There was no attack.
the majority of the people were ushered in.
we have pictures of many of the so-called attackers staying behind the velvet ropes.
if there was an actual attack, those places would not be standing, and many of these socialists wouldn’t be breathing today.
Biden will commemorate by murdering Ashli Babbitt’s grandmother.
Commemorations are for things you really liked and are very proud of.
Apparently “Jan. 6 Insurrection Commemoration” is communist dog whistle for “We Got Away With Stealing an Election Day.”
“We have pictures of many of the so-called attackers staying behind the velvet ropes.”
That’s my favorite image of the day. The “insurectionists” happily wandering through the hall, staying within the velvet ropes, smiling and taking selfies. I’m surprised no one broke out sandwiches

Night of destruction across D.C. after protesters clash with police outside White House [2020]
Washington Post
June 1, 2020
In the park, protesters faced the familiar pop, pop, pop of pepper bullets and stinging clouds of tear gas meant to push back hundreds of them as they tried, again and again, to break through the police barricades set up around President Trump’s home.
Later, American flags and parked cars and buildings were lit ablaze — including St. John’s Church, a historic landmark opened in 1816 and attended by every president since James Madison. Firefighters quickly extinguished the basement fire, which police said was intentionally set.
Downtown, baseball bats bashed through windows at coffee shops, banks and one office building after another. Vandals and looters roamed throughout the city, scrawling graffiti and targeting dozens of businesses well after the mayor’s 11 p.m. curfew began.
Giant grocery store — with employees still inside — was broken into, as was a Sephora in Gallery Place. On H Street NE, looters ransacked a CVS. In Georgetown, the Nike store’s boarded-up doors were broken down and its merchandise plundered. In Friendship Heights and Tenleytown, five miles from the White House, other groups hit a Target and smashed open Rodman’s, a beloved drugstore, specialty grocer and housewares shop — all in one.
The smell of fire hung heavy in the air, and shattered glass speckled the pavement. Gone were the windows of the Lafayette Building, home to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Next door, all the outdoor umbrellas at the Opaline Bar and Brasserie were warped and charred. As police and firefighters showed up to investigate, the destruction continued around them, the looters uncaring.
