— MSNBC contributor Yamiche Alcindor on MSNBC’sDeadline: White HouseJanuary 4.
From the January 6 Riots, to Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and the Holocaust

Bush after 9/11….Think about Lincoln at Gettysburg….That’s the kind of speech that Biden had to make today. We’re at a crossroads in our country. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, there was no guarantee that our country would overcome tyranny. There was no certainty after 9/11 that there wouldn’t be another attack. You have to tell America and the world what America stands for….Joe Biden did that today and in order to do that, he did something that he didn’t want to have to do. Biden took on the role of a former President [Donald Trump].”
