President Biden marked the six-month anniversary of the deadly Jan.6 assault on the U.S. Capitol with a call for unity, urging Americans to work with one another “on behalf of the common good to restore decency, honor, and respect for the rule of law.” “This was not dissent. It was disorder. It posed an existential crisis and a test of whether our democracy could survive—a sad reminder that there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy,” Biden said in a statement Tuesday. “But while it shocked and saddened the nation and the world, six months later, we can say unequivocally that democracy did prevail—and that we must all continue the work to protect and preserve it.” “That requires people of goodwill and courage to stand up to the hate, the lies, and the extremism that led to this vicious attack, including determining what happened so that we can remember it and not bury it hoping we forget,” Biden continued.
