Former United States President Donald Trump today accused incumbent President Joe Biden of using his name to further divide the country, on the first anniversary of the January 6 assassination attempt by his supporters on the US Capitol.
Biden “used my name today in an attempt to further divide America,” Trump said in a written statement following Biden’s speech at the Capitol on the anniversary.
“This political theater is just a distraction,” he said, aiming to make citizens forget the “failures” of the Democratic president, Trump said.
Earlier in the day, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell accused Democrats of “politically exploiting” the anniversary of the Capitol attack.
“It was unbelievable to see some Democrats in Washington trying to take advantage of this anniversary to advance party goals that existed long before that,” he said in a press release, calling January 6, 2021, a “black day for “Congress and our country.”
