In a recorded message to the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, President Joe Biden slammed Donald Trump for a lack of “courage to act” during the January 6th Capitol attack. While left-leaning articles focus on the January 6th committee, right-leaning articles detail Biden’s comments from the recorded message.
A left-leaning article from The Washington Post highlights how while Biden has sharply criticized the Jan. 6th attack, calling it “one of the darkest periods of our nation’s history,” he has rarely directly discussed the committee. The article also notes how the Jan. 6th committee will continue to conduct interviews and write reports.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting on how Biden’s comments about Trump are surprising as he has distanced himself from the Jan. 6th investigation and rarely says Trump by name. Biden neither wants to politicize the investigation nor “appear to be influencing Justice Department decisions on any Jan. 6 investigations.”
A right-leaning article from Fox News highlights how Biden stated that “the police were heroes [on Jan. 6th]. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act.” Biden also said that Capitol Police and law enforcement officers endured “medieval hell for three hours” and, referring to Trump, said that “you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American.”
