President Joe Biden connected the racist mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday to the protests of Trump supporters on January 6.
The president cited January 6th riots after calling all Americans to “reject white supremacy” because they were making the country look bad.
“We can’t allow them to distort America. The real America,” Biden said, referring to the white supremacists. “We can’t allow them to destroy the soul of the nation.”
Biden then immediately referred to January 6th.
“As president of the United States, I travel the world all the time. And other nations ask me, heads of state in other countries ask me, what’s going on? What in God’s name happened on January 6th? What happened in Buffalo,” Biden said.
