Joe Biden criticized the inaction of his predecessor Donald Trump on Monday July 25 during the Capitol assault on January 6, 2021, which he described as “hell worthy of the Middle Ages”. “For three hours, the former president of the United States, beaten, observed the events occurring, seated in the comfort of his private dining room, near the oval office,” said Democratic president on the sidelines of a Conference of an organization of African-American police chiefs.
“While he was doing this, courageous police officers lived a hell worthy of the Middle Ages (…), being covered with blood, surrounded by a carnage, faced with a raging crowd who believed in the lies of the defeated president” , he continued. “The police were heroic that day. Donald Trump did not have the courage to act,” said Joe Biden, noting that we could not “be pro-line and pro-political”, or ” Pro-insurgency and pro-democracy “.
These criticisms echo the conclusions of the parliamentary commission of inquiry on the January 6 attack, which estimated during a public hearing last Thursday that the republican billionaire had “failed in his duty as commander -in -chief” By not working to stop for three hours the surge of violence from his supporters at the Congress. Joe Biden, criticized by his opponents for the revival of violence in the country, is a few months of crucial legislative elections, who could see the Republican Party take over the House of Representatives currently dominated by Democrats.

In a slightly wrapped voice, the 79 -year -old democrat was delighted to have had two good nights of sleep in a row. “In fact, my dog even had to wake me up this morning,” he smiled. Confined since his positive test Thursday, he said he hoped to get out of isolation to return to work “by the end of the week”.
Joe Biden had continued to work, but had lightened his schedule during his convalescence. The president seems to have had light symptoms, and the White House did everything to reassure his state of health and his ability to govern, even confined.
earlier, his personal doctor said that he was practically no more symptoms of the disease, in a letter broadcast by the White House. “His symptoms have now practically completely disappeared,” wrote Dr. Kevin O’Connor.
The president, very slightly wrapped, still suffers from a small nasal congestion, said the doctor. The age of Joe Biden – which has benefited from a complete vaccination and two reminders – the class in the category of people at risk of developing a serious case of the disease.
