In the wake of the November 2020 presidential election, incumbent president Donald Trump repeatedly asserted that he was the actual winner and that he had been defrauded by vote manipulation and other irregularities. Many of his supporters, his campaign staff, and members of his administration made similar assertions, although some made them more insistently than others. On January 6, 2021, Trump supporters, feeling encouraged after a rally with the president, stormed the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and did considerable damage. Their goal was to interfere with the electoral vote count and, ultimately, have the election result declared invalid. In the ensuing weeks Trump was impeached—but not convicted—on a charge of incitement to insurrection. On the first anniversary of the riot, President Biden delivered this scathing rebuke to Trump, the rioters, and those who supported them.
