President Biden issued a statement late Saturday in response to the acquittal in the Senate of former President Trump on charges of high crimes and misdemeanors.

What he’s saying: “Today, 57 Senators — including a record 7 Republicans — voted to find former President Trump guilty for inciting that deadly insurrection on our very democracy. The Senate vote followed the bipartisan vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives,” Biden said in an emailed statement.”

“Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a ‘disgraceful dereliction of duty’ and ‘practically and morally responsible for provoking’ the violence unleashed on the Capitol.

“Tonight, I am thinking about those who bravely stood guard that January day. I’m thinking about all those who lost their lives, all those whose lives were threatened, and all those who are still today living with terror they lived through that day. And I’m thinking of those who demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy – Democrats and Republicans, election officials and judges, elected representatives and poll workers – before and after the election.

“This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant. That violence and extremism has no place in America. And that each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.

“That is how we end this uncivil war and heal the very soul of our nation. That is the task ahead. And it’s a task we must undertake together. As the United States of America.”

  1. What about the past summer of violence, burning and looting that Biden and the Democrats not only failed to condemn but encouraged!!! Hypocrites through and through!!! The pot calling the kettle black!!!

  2. Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson claims Joe Biden is a hologram who doesn’t actually exist
    …In fact, it’s becoming clear there is no Joe Biden. The man you may remember from the 1980s is gone. He no longer exists.

  3. Three cents. The well of the left. Every quick gain. The wit of the spit.

    Biden the smile of the hour. Will he have it. Will you flower.

    The willing pity of good changing hope. The planet of good. The humor of a rage and rope.

    Do not hang him yet.

  4. What exactly does he mean by “the substance of the charge is not in dispute”.
    No, actually the non-unanimous vote exactly means that the charge is indeed in dispute! Idiot.

    By the way, go and read the statements of Trump versus that of Biden for yourselves, and you tell me which is the more divisive. I’ll give you a clue, it’s not the one who has been claiming to wave the banner “unity”.

    The fact that these ‘lawmakers’ can’t seem to disassociate arguments claiming the riot was bad, from the claim that Trump was responsible for it, is both appalling and scary.
