President Joe Biden celebrated the prosecution of hundreds of his chief political rival’s supporters, highlighting that over 1,200 people have been charged for their assault on the Capitol, with nearly 900 convicted or pleading guilty and collectively sentenced to more than 840 years in prison.
He criticized former President Donald Trump for calling the insurrectionists “patriots” and promising to pardon them if he returns to office.
“Since that day, more than 1,200 people have been charged for their assault on the Capitol, and nearly 900 of them have been convicted or pled guilty. Collectively to date, they have been sentenced to more than 840 years in prison,” Biden said. (Trending: U.S. State Passes Personal Pronoun Ban)
“What’s Trump done? Instead of calling them criminals, he’s called these insurrectionists ‘patriots’ … and he promises to pardon them if he returns to office,” he added.
“Trump said they’re was a lot of love on January 6. The rest of the nation, including law enforcement, saw a lot of hate and violence.”
“I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 P.M.,” Trump wrote.
“Why didn’t they do this 2.5 years ago? Why did they wait so long? Because they wanted to put it right in the middle of my campaign. Prosecutorial Misconduct!”
Biden also emphasized the importance of the 2024 election, portraying it as a choice between democracy and Trump’s self-interest.
“Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is what the 2024 election is all about,” Biden said.
“The choice is clear. Donald Trump’s campaign is about him, not America, not you. Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy to put himself in power. Our campaign is different.”
