President said Trump watched the invasion ‘while sitting comfortably in the dining room’; five people died and 140 officers were injured
Joe Biden spoke at the National Organization of Black Officers of Law Enforcement Conference
the president of United States, Joe Bidencriticized this Monday, 25, the attitude of the predecessor, Donald Trumpduring the invasion of Capitol which took place on January 6, 2021, and said that the former president “lacked courage” to stop the protesters. “The police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act. The brave women and men in blue across this nation must never forget this. You cannot be pro-insurgency and pro-police. You cannot be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy”, he analyzed. In the virtual speech to the Conference of the National Organization of Black Directors of the Forces of Order, the Democratic leader highlighted how Trump watched the invasion for three hours “while sitting comfortably in the private dining room next to the Oval Office”. However, according to Biden, law enforcement “shed blood in the midst of a carnage of a mad crowd that believed the lies” of the Republican, who refused to accept defeat in the presidential elections. On January 6, about 10,000 people walked to the Capitol and about 800 stormed into the building.
Five people were killed and about 140 officers were injured. THE White House also criticized on Monday the passivity of Trump that day. “He had a decision to make, whether to stand with the forces of the law or the mob, and his actions speak for themselves,” said spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, criticizing the then president for limiting himself to just observe what was happening. The committee investigating the January 6 raid, which took place as Biden’s victory was being formally certified on Capitol Hill, last week completed the first round of public interrogations, which began a month ago and will continue into September. In that last hearing, last Thursday, it was proved that Trump decided not to immediately stop the attack because it suited him and, instead, spent the afternoon watching the attack on television, until three hours later he answered the calls of his inner circle. and issued a message for the invaders to return home.
