He continued: “The police were heroes that day. Donald Trump didn’t have the courage to act” and added: “You can’t be a supporter of the riot and the police. You can’t be a supporter of the riot and America.
Due to the corona virus, Biden participated in the conference through video communication technology.
Biden’s criticism of Trump echoes the findings of the House Investigative Committee on the riots that targeted the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The committee accused Trump on Thursday of failing to stop or condemn the violence and said he must be held accountable for “egregious misconduct” in his presidential duties.
