The Daily Fuckup

Donald Trump scrapped a planned Jan. 6 press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 4, 2022, and said he would cover the same subjects at a rally in Arizona later that month. In his cancellation statement, he blamed what he called the “total bias and dishonesty” of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack and attacked the news media as well.

The event had been set for the first anniversary of the Capitol attack, after Trump spent weeks signaling that he wanted to use the date to push his continuing claims about the 2020 election. His decision to cancel came two days before the scheduled appearance. ([whitehouse.gov](https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/?utm_source=openai))

On Jan. 6, 2022, President Biden and Vice President Harris traveled to the Capitol for remarks marking the first anniversary of the assault. Biden used the occasion to describe the attack as a threat to democracy and to press the case that the transfer of power must not be overturned by violence.
