PNN – US President Joe Biden said: The attack of January 6, 2021 is a reminder that democracy is “never guaranteed”. Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the American House of Representatives, also said in an interview: The violence of January 6 did not end that day.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from the Hill website, Biden wrote in an article prepared for the Washington Post newspaper: We must commit to remembering the attack of January 6, 2021 every year. Let us remember that this was the day our democracy was put to the test and won. Let us remember that democracy is not guaranteed even in America.
Biden added: We must never forget that our democracy makes everything possible – our freedom, our rights and liberties and our dreams – and it is up to all generations in America to defend and protect it.
On Monday (today), four years have passed since the attack on the US Congress on January 6. US President-elect Donald Trump has promised to pardon the rebels who participated in the attack on Congress when Biden’s victory was confirmed in the 2020 election.
Biden said about this attack: The violent attack on the Congress threatened the lives of the elected officials and the police officers were attacked.
He added: We should be proud that our democracy resisted this attack and be happy that we did not see such shameful attacks this year.
Biden said: But we must not forget the memory of this attack and we must not forget the saying that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it. is We cannot accept a repeat of what happened four years ago.
Pelosi: The violence of the January 6 attack did not end that day
Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the American House of Representatives, also said in an interview with CBS News: The violence of January 6 did not end that day.
He said: As you know, the president-elect of the United States asked the attackers to continue their violence that day. My wife was and still is a victim of all these events. He still has injuries from that attack.
Pelosi added about Trump in the “Face de Niche” program: He is really the one who is supposed to be the president of the United States; Someone who thinks there is nothing wrong with amnestying the rebels who participated in this attack.
Some former police officials who were involved in the January 6 attack on Congress have called Trump’s promise to pardon the rebels “treason”.
Former American sergeant Aquilino Gonell, who was wounded on the day of the attack, told the Washington Post: Trump’s possible order to pardon the rebels is treason and a dagger in the heart.
Former congressional police officer Harry Dunn also said that pardoning the rebels despite the violent acts they committed shows the lack of accountability of the Commander-in-Chief.
