'medieval hell'President Joe Biden excoriated former President Donald Trump's lack of "courage to act" as law enforcement went through a "medieval hell" to protect the Capitol from a mob of Trump supporters during the January 6, 2021 attack.
In his first remarks since the public hearings by the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol attack began, Biden tore into the three hours of inaction by "the defeated former president of the United States" and praised the law enforcement for saving "our democracy."
"While he was doing that, brave law enforcement officers were subject to the medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage, face-to-face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated president,"Biden said in virtual remarks delivered at a conference for the National Organization for Black Law Enforcement. "The police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act."
"You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop," the president continued. "You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-American."

demonstrate to the white working class and rural males that the Slobfather is as authentic as that coward Josh Hawley. Time to mock these criminal fools.
