.Biden Slams Trump, Rioters in 1/6 Speech: 'You Can't Love Your Country Only When You Win'.
While delivering remarks on the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riot Thursday, President Joe Biden repeatedly went after Donald Trump for his role in the attack.
"Here's the truth: a former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election," Biden said while standing in Statuary Hall at the Capitol. "He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest, than America's interest, because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our Constitution. He can't accept he lost."
Biden specifically took aim at the former president and his supporters who referred to those gathered at the Capitol a year ago to disrupt the congressional certification of the election results as "patriots."
"Is that what you thought?" Biden asked. "You looked at the mob ransacking the Capitol, destroying property, literally defecating in the hallways, rifling through the desks of senators and representatives, hunting down members of Congress—patriots? Not in my view."
Biden said he believed the "true patriots" were the voters who peacefully cast their ballot, the election workers, and the law enforcement officers who worked to protect the Capitol.
"You can't love your country only when you win," said the president. "You can't obey the law only when it's convenient. You can't be patriotic when you embrace and enabled lies."
