President Biden’s Campaign Highlights Jan 6th Violence outside Trump’s Criminal Trial
President Joe Biden’s campaign held a press conference outside Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York City. Actor Robert De Niro and ex-police officers Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn, both of whom defended the Capitol on Jan 6, attended.
Ex-DC police officer, Fanone, beaten by Trump’s supporters on Jan 6, spotlighted the violence and democracy’s threat on that day. “I’m here to remind Americans of Trump’s violence on Jan. 6, 2021,” Fanone asserted.
Dunn, another ex-DC officer attacked on Jan 6, stated, “Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy and safety. We were labeled as traitors on Jan. 6 for doing our job.”
De Niro echoed their sentiments. “Donald Trump could destroy not only our city and country but the world,” De Niro claimed.
Their presence was not to talk about the trial but to use the widespread media attention to redirect focus to the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, highlighted a senior advisor.
Biden’s campaign communication director, Michael Tyler, specified, “We’re here today because you all are here.”
