In a recent op-ed piece, President Joe Biden launched yet another politically charged tirade directed at Donald Trump, under the pretext of discussing the events of January 6, 2021. It has become painfully clear that Biden’s definition of restoring “decency and honor” to the White House is merely a thin veil for his incessant finger-pointing and divisive rhetoric. The piece, published in the Washington Post, could more accurately be described as a campaign speech for the 2024 election, subtly reminding readers that personal grievances trump national unity for this administration.
Biden’s attempt to shape the narrative surrounding January 6 is as transparent as it is predictable. Instead of promoting national healing, he has chosen to stoke the fires of division by portraying the Capitol riot as an event inexplicably devoid of context. He presents it as if the American people should just accept his skewed interpretation of events without question. One has to wonder if Biden is under the impression that the average voter hasn’t already formed their own opinions about what transpired that day—spoiler alert: they have, and they don’t need a lecture from him.
In his musings, Biden insists that the truth of January 6 must be preserved, implying that those who dare to dissent from his narrative are trying to erase history. It raises an eyebrow when a president who markets himself as a unifier seems more intent on drawing battle lines than bridging any divides. After all, when the dust settled, the January 6 Committee emerged as a finely tuned political machine, blatantly partisan and laser-focused on making Trump the villain, while conveniently glossing over the behaviors of those on the left who also contributed to the unrest.

Let’s not forget that Biden’s retrospective fails to acknowledge a fundamental reality: the fervent opposition Trump faced stands as a testament to his political tenacity. A supposed landslide loss was instead a remarkable comeback, as Trump navigated the treacherous waters of false accusations, financial sabotage, and the relentless machinations of a politically motivated inquiry. This narrative seems conveniently absent from Biden’s article, as it doesn’t fit the image he desperately wants to project.
So, while Biden laments the dire state of truth in America, it’s hard to ignore that he might just be the one misplacing it. Instead of fostering a constructive dialogue, he opts for a repetitive cycle of blame and division. One can only hope that come 2024, Americans will be ready to rewrite the script, perhaps choosing a leader who embraces unity rather than sowing discord with partisan vitriol. After all, even Democrats are beginning to wonder if the “restoration” Biden promised is worth the price of divisive politics.
