President Biden Marks The Two-Year Anniversary Of The January 6th Insurrection WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 6: U.S.
President Joe Biden presents a Presidential Citizens Medal to Al Schmidt, former Republican Philadelphia City Commissioner and incoming Pennsylvania Secretary of State, during a ceremony to mark the two-year anniversary of the January 6th 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in the East Room of the White House January 6, 2023.
Biden never once mentioned Trump’s name or any of the ongoing criminal investigations into the former president’s conduct that day. Instead, he cast one of the country’s darkest moments as an occasion to celebrate how the actions of the largely anonymous police officers and election workers who sat behind him had helped to save American democracy.
“Both of them are just doing their jobs until they were targeted and threatened by the same predators and peddlers of lies that would fuel the insurrection,” Biden said. “They were literally forced from their homes facing despicable racist taunts.”
