On Thursday, President Joe Biden addressed the National Prayer Breakfast in a brief remote message. While he spoke about the virtues of faith, he did not mention his administration’s attack on religious freedom. He repeated false claims about the supposed “climate crisis.” While he called on Americans to help one another, he also pledged to “confront and defeat” “political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism.”
Biden mentioned the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, connecting it to “white supremacy” and domestic terrorism.
“We just have to open our eyes. We’ve just witnessed images that we’ve never imagined — images that now we’ll never forget: a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol — an assault on our democracy, on our Capitol, a violent attack that threatened lives and took lives,” Biden said. “We know now we must confront and defeat political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism.”
