Biden on Trump acquittal: 'Substance of the charge is not in dispute' BY JORDAN WILLIAMS - 02/13/21 11:05 PM EST

President Biden on late Saturday night issued a statement on the acquittal of former President Trump, in which he said that he was thinking about those who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6, adding that though Republican senators largely did not vote against Trump, the “substance of the charge” was not in dispute.

Biden, in his Saturday night statement invoked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell (R-Ky.) who did not vote to convict Trump, but issued a blistering rebuke of the president following the final vote.

“While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute,” Biden wrote.

“Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a ‘disgraceful dereliction of duty’ and ‘practically and morally responsible for provoking’ the violence unleashed on the Capitol.”

Biden said he was thinking of those who protected the Capitol during the riots, as well as those who died and remain in danger following the incident.

He also said he was thinking of those who “demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy” before an after the election.

The president ended his statement by drawing on his previous calls for unity to heal “the soul of the nation.”

With this statement, biden one again proved that he is completely lacking in class and in regard for the truth. He is nothing but a vile Delaware thug and a piece of crap!!!!

What does he think he is—a legitimate President of the United States? He STOLE the election, and belongs in prison with his entire corrupt family—NOT in the White House!!!!

The REAL insurrection is the continuing attack on our country by the communist arsonists, rioters, looters, and murderers of “Back Lives Matter” and AntiFa!!!! biden and his Democrat cronies used that insurrection to help steal the election. Since nothing has been done to bring these insurrectionists to heel, they remain an extreme danger to our nation and her people!!!!

If it’s not in dispute, why hasn’t Biden ordered Trump arrested?
