Angry words between Biden and Trump

Oh my goodness, Joe Biden chose the first anniversary of the January 6 assault on the Capitol to lay into Donald Trump. Big time. No holding back. A positive thundering attack on his immediate predecessor in the White House. It has been a long time coming. Most presidents don't talk ill of their predecessors but Biden couldn't resist the moment to slam into him over his involvement in the January 6 outrage. Trump did after all rouse his supporters to march on the Capitol on the day Congress was supposed to be voting to confirm the result of the 2020 election. And despite his daughter Ivanka pleading with him to call off his supporters he did nothing to stop the violence. So Biden grabbed his moment to denounce Trump in language which, for the president, was pretty strong. He also emphasised that there was absolutely no evidence that the 2020 election was wrong or false. Seven million voters - the difference between Trump's total and Biden's - was the only evidence needed to prove that point. Trump must have been steaming when he heard what Biden had to say and issued a statement which attacked everything Biden stood for and accused him of operating a failed presidency. Democracy is a great thing in America. The president attacks his predecessor for inspiring a violent assault on the Capitol and the former president reacts back with a vitriolic denunciation of his successor but unlike in, say China or Russia, it's all part of a normal day in politics. No one gets arrested at dawn and thrown into prison.
