Joe Biden calls on Americans not to forget the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol

In a few days he will grant the US presidency to Donald Trump, however he does not fail to send a message to . President Joe Biden, in an article published yesterday (local time) in The Washington Post, invited Americans not to forget the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol, saying that the country has the collective responsibility to remember the events of that day. CORVERSE The article was published a day before the Congress meeting in order for the body to formally ratify Republican Donald Trump’s election as president and nearly four years after a mob of supporters invaded the Capitol in a failed attempt to prevent the ratification of his defeat in the 2020 election. “We must remember the wisdom of the quote that every nation that forgets the past is doomed to repeat it,” Biden wrote. “We cannot accept a repetition of what happened four years ago”. He added that this time the ratification process of the election result will be peaceful. Trump, who takes over the US presidency in two weeks, does not recognize his defeat in the 2020 election as legal while he and his allies have formulated false theories about the events of January 6, 2021. He promised to award thanks to persons convicted of crimes related to the January 6 attack. “There is a constant effort to rewrite—even erase—the story of that day. To tell us that we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes,” Biden wrote to the Washington Post. “In time, there will be Americans who have not witnessed the first-hand uprising, but will learn it from footage and testimonies of that day, from what has been written in the books of History and from the truth we convey to our children. We cannot allow the truth to be lost.”
