Biden Addresses Trump’s Role In Capitol Attack On One Year Anniversary Of Insurrection | Talking Points Memo

The President and Vice President will speak at 9 a.m. ET to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the day the Capitol was stormed by a mob seeking to overturn the election. “I would expect that President Biden will lay out the significance of what happened at the Capitol and the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos and carnage that we saw,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday.

9:00 am? That’s early. The west coast is still dreaming. I guess Biden wants to get the party started before the jackals swarm.

Yeah, if he waited until west coast folks are up the GOP goons will have started hours prior.

I’d like a little more fire and brimstone at this stage of the game but it seems clear POTUS is going to run with this and that is a relief. Give 'em some of that good hell, Joe.

Biden going hard after Trump in this speech.

Dems have actually outmaneuvered the GOP on 1/6 and are defining it.

It will be difficult for Trump to win in 2024 should he contest.

Equally important, the Dems have now effectively created a political environment where prosecutors will feel more comfortable seeking charges against Trump and his inner circle.

Yeah but 2020??? Lol. I must mention, I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember something all morning. I can’t remember what it was. That’s bad but it’s still the morning.

Well no but he needs to do it anyway.

He is pulling no punches. I enjoy the idea of Trump watching this and absolutely fuming at being called out and dragged like this. I’m sure Gaetz and MTG and gun-nut barbie and wheelchair nazi are squirming too.

Notice his cadence. I’m impressed. That’s the way you communicate. You need rhythm.

I was a little worried that the dump would be soft petaled, but that hasn’t happened. Biden is calling him and his cohorts out strongly. This is a great speech.
