The president also called out Donald Trump for appealing to racist followers with hateful rhetoric and speeches meant to rile up his base.
President Joe Biden said Thursday that white supremacy is what motivated supporters of Donald Trump to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6 and accused his predecessor of appealing to racists.where he said he believed that “the violent, deadly insurrection on the Capitol nine months ago” was about white supremacy.He then mentioned the “through-line” of American racism, from enslaved Black people to the Ku Klux Klan, to far-right white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
“The through-line is that hate never goes away. In all the years I’ve been involved, I thought once we got through it, it would go away. But it doesn’t; it only hides,” he said. “It only hides until some seeming legitimate person breathes some oxygen under the rocks where they’re hiding, and gives them some breath.”,” Biden continued. He later added: “We cannot and must not give hate any safe harbor.
