WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will mark the one-year anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump's followers with a speech on Thursday warning of the threats to democracy, while Trump abandoned plans for a news conference that day as he reprised his attacks on Democrats and the media.

The White House said Biden would push back against Trump's false claims, adopted by many of his followers, that his election defeat was the result of widespread fraud, as well as attempts to downplay the violence of the worst assault on the Capitol since the War of 1812.

"The president is going to speak to the truth of what happened, not the lies that some have spread since, and the peril it has posed to the rule of law and our system of democratic governance," White House spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters on Tuesday, in the first preview of Biden's remarks.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will speak Thursday morning at the U.S. Capitol, one year after thousands of Trump supporters raided the complex in a failed attempt to stop the counting of Electoral College votes by lawmakers that officially delivered the Democratic president's election victory.

Wave that bloody shirt, Joe.

 

[Rightguide]

It will come back to haunt him.

It will come back to haunt him.

How can that possibly happen?

PEck, you underestimate the hatred of the right, indifference of the middle and the tolerance of the left. Those in the middle are gonna either shrug or agree with the right that this shouldbe a time of silence or something instead of speaking of the tragedy. And the left won't go full nuclear like they should. Like MSNBC and CNN should be round the clock grabbing up every pundit, politician and celebrity they can to just shit on the right.

Having morals fucking sucks though don't it.

If he repeats the lie that Trump had anything to do with J6, knowing what we know now, he will alienate even more voters. Of course, Joe Biden hasn't told the truth about anything since taking office, so his credibility is already destroyed.

 

[ll74]

The base still believes that Trump won.

Showing them reality won't matter and probably will make them more entrenched in their fantasy

The dumbest thing you said this year.

What we know now, and knew at the time, is that Trump and Trump alone summoned his redhats to Washington and whipped them into a frenzy. Nobody else. Just Trump. There were no FBI provocateurs in the crowd, no Antifa false-flaggers. It's all on Trump.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

We know the purpose of the J6 jihad. Liz Cheney told us, "I can tell you that the single most important thing, though, is to ensure that Donald Trump is not the Republican nominee and that he certainly is not anywhere close to the Oval Office ever again.”

Because really, what's more important to our precious democracy than preventing people from voting for the guy they prefer?

It's the sort of thing that goes on in Iran, where all candidates are carefully screened by the ayatollahs first.

And then...and then...he told them to go peacefully express themselves at the Capitol.

The Horror!

The dumbest thing you said this year.

You are out of your mind. The Left is so fucking tolerant it often blinds us to the obvious.

 

[pecksniff]

"Jihad"?

 

[pecksniff]

And then...and then...he told them to go peacefull express themselves at the Capitol.

The Horror!

After he whipped them into a frenzy. And then he watched the whole thing on TV, and ignored his daughter when she begged him to do something to stop it.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

"Jihad"?

It just rings better than the more apt, "show trial."

That ain't no smarter.

Hahahaha, the only thing you're blind to is the obvious truth...about everything.

If this thread is any indicator you are correct.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Hahahaha, the only thing you're blind to is the obvious truth...about everything.

What exactly are we collectively intollerant of? ITs not opinion or religion. It must be something you can put your finger on.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

After he whipped them into a frenzy. And then he watched the whole thing on TV, and ignored his daughter when she begged him to do something to stop it.

That's a far cry from inciting it.

When Mike Brown got tangled up with that cop and the cop wasn't charged, his daddy was filmed standing on the hood of a car exhorting the throng to "burn that bitch down!" Whereupon the throng went and burned that bitch down.

Not incitement. No prosecution.

 

[WillJ8787]

How can that possibly happen?

I kinda agree with this also ...he is better off letting the 6th commission do it's business of rooting out and charging officials or recommending charges to the DOJ.

He is equally likely to say good things as well as flubbing it up and causing more polarization.

Stop lying. There is video of Ray Epps, megaphone in hand, telling the crowd they had to invade the Capitol. Donald Trump did no such thing. All you do is lie. Democrats always lie. Here is a video of them doing the same thing they accused the Republicans of doing, contesting the election:

You must be consuming some of that fentanyl that’s coming across Biden’s open border.

Every word I said is true. You've brought up Epps before, but he's no FBI agent, not even you still believe that.

Democrats always lie. Here is a video of them doing the same thing they accused the Republicans of doing, contesting the election:

That's from the 2000 election, and it is only a dry-as-dust political wrangle on the floor of Congress on a genuinely contestable issue, not an irrational riot.
