“This was not dissent. It was disorder,” Biden said in a statement on the six-month anniversary of the attack. “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.”


Biden went on to say that “democracy did prevail” despite the shocking event — where a mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building during the counting of the Electoral College votes — and that “we must all continue the work to protect and preserve it.”

He also seemed to call for a continuation of efforts to investigate the Jan. 6 attack, encouraging people to “stand up to” the lies and extremism that led to it, “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,” Biden said in the statement. “And it impels our government — both the executive and legislative branches — to take the urgent steps needed to protect the fundamental right to vote.”

needs to be thoroughly investigated and those who were behind this need to be arrested, that's for both the insurrectionists and those in the House and Senate.

7. These were not children

who simply misbehaved and need a time out.

They were fully evil and cognizant adults who intended to overthrow the government and must be treated as enemies and not as misguided children.
