Biden says Trump ‘certainly’ supported an insurrection: ‘No question about it’

Former President Donald Trump “certainly” supported an insurrection, President Joe Biden said on Wednesday.

Speaking in Milwaukee, where he will make a speech on “Bidenomics,” the president boldly went where his staff would not.

“It’s self-evident,” Biden said about the Colorado ruling that could keep Trump’s name off the ballot. “You saw it all. Now, whether the 14th Amendment applies, I’ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. No question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on about everything.”

Biden initially said he was “not gonna comment on it” but then elaborated further.

Earlier Wednesday, the White House declined to comment on Biden’s chief rival being removed from the ballot.

“What I can say is the president’s not involved. We’re not involved in it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “Just not going to get involved in any court decision that’s made. Supreme Court, any court decision is a legal process. We’re going to leave it alone, not comment. … We try to do our best to follow the law and just not going to comment on this.”

As an elected official, the president is free to make election-related statements that his staff cannot make.

The Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump on Tuesday after ruling he is ineligible to become president again under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a 4-3 decision that Trump has pledged to take to the Supreme Court.

The Colorado court stayed its decision until Jan. 4, the day before the state’s ballot access deadline, or until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the case.
