Monday marks the fourth anniversary of the violent events of Jan. 6, 2021 -- a day President-elect Donald Trump has continually tried to recast as a "day of love."

Summary

On the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack, Donald Trump continued to downplay the violence, calling it a “day of love” and pledging to pardon many convicted rioters.

Trump reiterated false claims about the 2020 election and criticized Mike Pence for certifying results.

President Biden countered in an op-ed, emphasizing the importance of preserving the truth about Jan. 6 as a violent assault on democracy.

Over 1,600 individuals have faced charges for the riot, with 608 charged for attacking law enforcement.

    Odds are in 100 years it will be remembered as a day of love, and anyone who said different is dead and forgotten.
