On the day Congress certified Donald Trump’s victory, Joe Biden chose to indulge in what can only be described as an overblown nostalgia trip, revisiting the events of January 6, 2021, in an op-ed for the Washington Post. With Kamala Harris playing her usual role as the dutiful sidekick, Biden’s latest piece reflects an obsessive fixation on a day that most Americans have moved past. In an ironic twist of fate, while the nation acknowledges Trump’s success, the president seems stuck in a time warp, desperately trying to evoke the drama of three years prior.
Biden’s recollections, penned by his staff, paint a chilling picture of chaos on that fateful day. His narrative casts thousands of individuals as rioters rampaging through the National Mall, while overlooking critical context. One glaring omission in his retelling is the fact that no law enforcement officers died that day. It’s a convenient omission, especially considering that the only fatality acknowledged was Ashli Babbitt, who was shot during the fracas—an act seemingly brushed aside in Biden’s account.
Amidst his lamentations about the bygone chaos, Biden attempts to elevate his status as a unifier by recalling his calls for peace on January 6. However, he conveniently neglects to mention that Donald Trump did the same, urging his supporters to “go home with love & in peace.” This absence of acknowledgment shows a striking selective amnesia or perhaps a deliberate attempt to rewrite history from a singular, partisan lens.
On Day Trump's Win Is Certified, Biden Writes Lame Op-Ed Reminiscing About Jan. 6https://t.co/nGg1Z7zTDv

As Biden clings to the narrative of January 6 as a beacon of democratic endurance, it becomes painfully clear that the true assault on democracy has manifested not in the Capitol building but under his very administration. From questionable actions by the Department of Justice to the politicization of various federal agencies, it is the Biden-Harris regime that has truly tested the resilience of this nation’s democratic fabric. The irony is thick—while voters made their voices heard on election day, Biden is hell-bent on reviving a narrative that, to most, has lost relevance.
With so many significant issues on the horizon, including rampant inflation and foreign policy debacles, the fixation on a single event from three years prior is not merely tiresome; it borders on absurd. The American electorate has shown a clear desire to move forward, yet Biden’s one-man show of drama around January 6 does nothing to address the pressing challenges of the day. In the end, Biden’s attempts to rekindle old controversies only reveal his growing irrelevance in the current political landscape—indeed, few Americans truly care about his perspectives on January 6 or any other manufactured crisis he seeks to elevate.
