Ammon News - President Joe Biden, who has attempted to oversee a smooth transition by withholding criticism of President-elect Donald Trump, has grown more animated about their differences ahead of the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

“I think it should not be rewritten, I don’t think it should be forgotten,” he told reporters at the White House on Sunday afternoon, which he expanded upon at an evening event and in a new opinion piece published Sunday night by The Washington Post.

“But I don’t think we should — if you notice, I’ve reached out to make sure the smooth transition, we’ve got to get back to basic, normal transfer of power. I don’t think we should pretend it didn’t happen,” he said, referring to the mob of Trump supporters who staged a deadly assault in the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Speaking about Trump specifically, Biden added: “I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy, and I’m hopeful that we’re beyond it.”
