“It was not a group of tourists. It was an armed uprising, “Biden said of the events of January 6, 2021. The crowd broke into the Congress building at a time when its members were sitting to definitively confirm the results of the November 2020 presidential election, in which Democratic candidate Biden defeated Republican Trump.

“They were trying to undermine the institute,” Biden said. “The former president of the United States has created and spread a network of lies about the 2020 election. He did so because he values ​​power more than principles because he considers his own interests to be more important than his country’s,” the White House chief added.

According to him, the USA and the world are currently in a “struggle between democracy and autocracy”. In this context, Biden promised that he would “not allow anyone to put a dagger on the throat of democracy.” (cnn, tasr)
