President Biden on Monday blasted former President Trump's inaction during the Jan. 6 insurrection, emphasizing in a speech that "you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop."
Why it matters: His comments come after Jan. 6 select committee hearings revealed Trump's repeated refusal to intervene as his supporters, many of whom were armed, broke into the Capitol.
What he's saying: "On Jan. 6th, we relied on law enforcement to save our democracy," Biden said in virtual remarks to the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Executives on Monday.
