President Trump is accused of inciting a riot with his rhetoric about a stolen election. On Jan. 7, President-elect Biden said the incident was the result of Trump’s long record of disdain for the rule of law.
What happened Jan. 6 is nothing for our country to be proud of. But — and there’s always a but — Biden must also be held accountable for refusing to remove the fuel that feeds the unrest. There are more than 70 million Americans who have concerns about the integrity of the election.
Instead of being divisive, all Biden has to say is he will not have American citizens believing he won this election by means that were not honorable. Therefore he must demand a thorough investigation and audit of the election results. Let the investigation show no fraud was involved in his victory.
That should shut up Trump and possibly ease the concerns of his more than 70 million followers.
