President JoeBiden commemorates Jan. 6 two years later with first Presidential Citizens Medals
President Joe Biden commemorated the second anniversary of Jan. 6 Friday with a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, where he decried the violence carried out by rioters who attacked the Capitol and"lies about the 2020 election" voiced by former President Donald Trump and his allies.
"For all the families who lost someone, my heart aches for you," he stated."And I want to thank you for having the courage to be here today." "There are still extreme MAGA Republicans propagating the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen and elected officials who have tried to whitewash the violence that happened that day," he wrote."As Americans, it’s incumbent on all of us to call out these insidious attacks that weaken our democracy. We must never forget what happened on that solemn day, and Democrats stand united in protecting our democracy.
Caroline Edwards: A law enforcement officer injured on Jan. 6. The White House notes that"even after suffering a traumatic brain injury, Officer Edwards worked to prevent rioters from entering the Capitol building."
