U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a speech, on Thursday, marking the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol insurrection by Donald Trump's supporters.
In his speech, Biden criticized former President Trump and his violent supporters.
“For the first time in our history, a president not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol,” Biden affirmed. “But they failed.”

“Democracy was attacked,” he said at the Capitol. “We the people endure. We the people prevailed.”
In addition, the president drew a contrast between the truth of what happened and the false narratives that have sprung up about the Capitol assault, including the continued refusal by many Republicans to affirm that Biden won the 2020 election.
“You and I and the whole world saw with our own eyes,” he noted, recalling the harrowing, violent scene, the mob attacking police, threatening the House speaker, erecting gallows threatening to hang the vice president.
“Here is the God’s truth about Jan. 6, 2021,” Biden said. ”They were looking to subvert the Constitution."
“We must be absolutely clear about what is true and what is a lie. Here's the truth,” he said. "The former president of the United States of America has spread a web of lies about the 2020 election."
