Tonight, in Washington, D.C. and across the nation, we came together to honor the over 400,000 Americans we’ve lost to COVID-19. The last year has tested us in unimaginable ways, but now it’s time we begin to heal and overcome — together.
BIDEN: "No one can tell me that if that had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday that they would not have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol. We all know this is true."
PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN:
"I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward."
"I call on President trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the constitution and demand and end to this siege."
The only explanation for @realDonaldTrump's refusal to denounce this or call for an end to this coup attempt is that he wants it to happen. That's it. No more excuses. No more spin and bullshit from assholes like @tedcruz and @HawleyMO. You are complicit.
There are Trump supporters outside my parents’ house shouting through megaphones “Lock Her Up,” and I just keep thinking, I hope they’re wearing masks and some day get over 2016.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received the most votes in history.
Kamala Harris becomes the first woman, the first Black woman, the first South Asian woman, to serve as VP.
