Former US President Donald Trump said Thursday that his successor, Joe Biden, who has blamed him for the assault on the US Capitol a year ago and to prefer his ego over democracy, he has used it “to divide”. “He used my name today to try to further divide the United States,” the magnate said in a statement, who last Tuesday canceled a press conference he had scheduled at his residence in Mar-a-Lago (Florida).
Biden blamed the Republican on Thursday for create a “web of lies” about the 2020 elections and incite his followers to storm the Capitol. “His wounded ego matters more to him than our democracy and our Constitution. He cannot accept that he lost,” Biden said in a speech from the Capitol on the first anniversary of the attack that left five dead and 140 officers wounded.
In response to Biden, Trump again insisted that “rigged” presidential elections should be discussed 2020, in which he lost to the Democrat. “They got away with it and it is leading to the destruction of our country,” he said. The Republican added that Biden is destroying the country with “crazy policies of open borders, corrupt elections, disastrous energy policies, unconstitutional mandates and devastating school closings.”
In addition, the former president again criticized the media, rejecting that they refer to the alleged electoral fraud as the “Big Lie.” “Democrats want to own this day, January 6 to stoke fears and divide America“, emphasized the republican.
Last Tuesday, Trump indicated that he was canceling his appointment with the press due to “the total partiality” of the Committee that investigates the assault on the Capitol January 6, 2021. A poll released Thursday by the Knight Foundation indicates that the majority of Americans consider that the assault on the Capitol by Trump supporters was an illegitimate expression of freedom of expression.
