think of a more twisted way to look at this country?'

Speaking at the Capitol on the anniversary of the January 6 attacks, President Joe Biden spent much of his speech slamming former President Donald Trump for continuing to spread lies about both that day and the 2020 presidential election.

And he did it without naming him once during the speech, referring to Trump only as the "former president."

"The big lie being told by the former president and many Republicans — because they fear his wrath — is that the insurrection in this country actually took place on election day," Biden said.

"The former president's supporters are trying to rewrite history. They want you to see election day as the day of insurrection, and the riots that took place as a true expression of the will of the people," Biden added. "Can you think of a more twisted way to look at this country? To look at America?"

Biden condemns Trump’s ‘web of lies’ a year on from deadly Capitol assault

Joe Biden on Thursday forcefully denounced Donald Trump for spreading a “web of lies” about the legitimacy of the 2020 election in a desperate attempt to cling to power.

The US president condemned his predecessor’s efforts as a “failed” pursuit, but one that continues to threaten the foundations of American democracy one year after the insurrection at the US Capitol when extremist Trump supporters tried, on 6 January last year, to overturn the official certification of Biden’s presidential election victory.

In a speech from the Capitol marking the first anniversary of the deadly assault, Biden was unsparing in his assessment of the harm caused by Trump’s “undemocratic” and “un-American” attacks on the institutions of democracy.

Though Biden never mentioned Trump by name, he was explicit in blaming the former president for fomenting the violence that led his supporters to place a “dagger at the throat of American democracy”.

'A dagger at the throat of American democracy': Why Joe Biden's intense Jan. 6 speech was stunning TV

He never mentioned Trump by name, but it could not have been more clear whom Biden was talking about — or what he was saying. His rhetoric was heated, fiery even. Trump and his supporters put “a dagger at the throat of American democracy.”

Along with descriptions like, “Wow,” some might add, “Finally.”

Kaitlan Collins said on CNN, “I do think this is a speech he could have given a year ago" when Biden was inaugurated. Instead he chose to focus then on healing and hope.

Indeed, this was a speech unlike any Biden has given, and it seemed to mark a change in his approach to Trump and his continuing lies.
