  • On Jan. 20, 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden’s inauguration speech included a clear rebuke of racism and white supremacy, unusual for inaugural addresses. In his speech, Biden denounced racism, nativism, fear, demonization, which propelled the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Conservative pundit Karl Rove was not a fan of that particular moment in the speech, according to an interview he gave on Fox News. In the 23-minute long speech, Biden said, Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart. He also said, A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear. And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. After initially praising Biden’s speech the day of the inauguration, Rove changed course in a Fox News interview the next day. He said: Given that Rove indeed said he was offended by a moment in Biden’s speech that focused on racism in the country, we rate this claim a Correct Attribution. (en)
