President Biden stormed out of the State Of The Union gate and trashed Donald Trump.
Biden shouted at Trump about Russia: “It wasn’t long ago that the Republican president named Ronald Reagan thundered to Gorbachev: tear down this wall. Now, now my predecessor is, a former Republican president tells Putin, quote, do whatever the hell you want. This is a quote. The former president said he bowed to the Russian leader. I think it’s scandalous, dangerous and unacceptable.”

Biden denied Trump’s election lies:
Many of you were here in the darkest days. We all saw with our own eyes that the insurrectionists were not patriots, they had come to stop the peaceful transfer of power, to overturn the will of the people, the lies of January 6th about the 2020 elections and the plots to steal polling places the gravest threat to American democracy since the Civil War. But they failed. America stood! America remained strong and democracy prevailed. Let’s be honest, the threat to democracy must be defended. My predecessor and some of you here try to bring forth the truth about January 6th. I will not do that. This is the time to tell the truth and bury the lies. Here’s the simple truth. You can’t love your country only when you win.
