Former President Donald Trump ridiculed Friday the efforts by President Joe Biden and leftist Democrats to politically weaponize the anniversary of the January 6 riot on Thursday.

“Joe Biden’s voice is now the voice of desperation and despair,” Trump wrote in a statement, mocking the “the last gasps of a corrupt and discredited left-wing political and media establishment.”

He said Biden and his advisers moved to further politicize the January 6 protests to cover up his administration’s failures.
