Outgoing President Joe Biden marked the fourth anniversary of the Capitol attack by calling on Americans to remain vigilant against future threats to democracy, emphasizing the need for collective action to safeguard the electoral process.
The January 6 attack was preceded by Trump's insistence on election fraud, which lacked any substantiated evidence and was dismissed by multiple courts, underscoring the fragility of democratic norms in the face of misinformation.
On the day of the attack, Trump incited his supporters by promoting a "wild" event, repeatedly asserting that the election was "stolen," thereby polarizing the crowd that ultimately led to the violent breach of the Capitol.
Despite the mob's violent actions and overwhelming evidence of the chaos, Trump remained passive for hours while watching the events unfold, only later urging his supporters to leave with a message of misguided affection.
