Vice President Kalama Harris joined President Joe Biden in marking the one-year anniversary since a mob of violent rioters breached the U.S. Capitol. In her remarks, Harris likened the attack to other national tragedies like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. More:
"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.
"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."
