Even before the first ballot was cast, the former president was preemptively sowing doubt about the election results. He built his lie over months. It wasn\u2019t based on any facts. He was just looking for an excuse \u2014 a pretext \u2014 to cover for the truth,\u201d Biden said. \u201cHe\u2019s not just a former president. He\u2019s a defeated former president \u2014 defeated by a margin of over 7 million of your votes in a full and free and fair election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is simply zero proof the election results were inaccurate. In fact, in every venue where evidence had to be produced and an oath to tell the truth had to be taken, the former president failed to make his case,\u201d the president said. \u201cJust think about this: The former president and his supporters have never been able to explain how they accept as accurate the other election results that took place on November 3rd \u2014 the elections for governor, United States Senate, the House of Representatives \u2014 elections in which they closed the gap in the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey challenge none of that. The President\u2019s name was first, then we went down the line \u2014 governors, senators, House of Representatives. Somehow, those results were accurate on the same ballot, but the presidential race was flawed? And on the same ballot, the same day, cast by the same voters. The only difference: The former President didn\u2019t lose those races; he just lost the one that was his own,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Biden complete speech from a transcript provided by the White House.<\/p>\n<p><em>Madam Vice President, my fellow Americans: To state the obvious, one year ago today, in this sacred place, democracy was attacked \u2014 simply attacked. The will of the people was under assault. The Constitution \u2014 our Constitution \u2014 faced the gravest of threats.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Outnumbered and in the face of a brutal attack, the Capitol Police, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, the National Guard, and other brave law enforcement officials saved the rule of law.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our democracy held. We the people endured. And we the people prevailed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For the first time in our history, a president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But they failed. They failed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And on this day of remembrance, we must make sure that such an attack never, never happens again.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m speaking to you today from Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol. This is where the House of Representatives met for 50 years in the decades leading up to the Civil War. This is \u2014 on this floor is where a young congressman of Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, sat at desk 191.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Above him \u2014 above us, over that door leading into the Rotunda \u2014 is a sculpture depicting Clio, the muse of history. In her hands, an open book in which she records the events taking place in this chamber below.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Clio stood watch over this hall one year ago today, as she has for more than 200 years. She recorded what took place. The real history. The real facts. The real truth. The facts and the truth that Vice President Harris just shared and that you and I and the whole world saw with our own eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Bible tells us that we shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free. We shall know the truth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Well, here is the God\u2019s truth about January 6th, 2021:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Close your eyes. Go back to that day. What do you see? Rioters rampaging, waving for the first time inside this Capitol a Confederate flag that symbolized the cause to destroy America, to rip us apart.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Even during the Civil War, that never, ever happened. But it happened here in 2021.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What else do you see? A mob breaking windows, kicking in doors, breaching the Capitol. American flags on poles being used as weapons, as spears. Fire extinguishers being thrown at the heads of police officers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A crowd that professes their love for law enforcement assaulted those police officers, dragged them, sprayed them, stomped on them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Over 140 police officers were injured.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019ve all heard the police officers who were there that day testify to what happened.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden on Thursday, the one-year anniversary of the riot at the U.S. Capitol, delivered a scathing speech about former President Donald Trump, but never said his name.
