“America, I love you,” President Joe Biden told his country on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), as he backed the presidential candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris. The President reasserted his strong rejection of Donald Trump’s attempt to subvert the results of the 2024 election he lost to Biden.

“You cannot say you love your country only when you win,” the American leader told party delegates tonight.

“Hate has no safe harbor [in America],” added Biden, who strongly restated his opposition to Trump’s attempt to create a false equivalency between white supremacists and counter protesters when referring to the principals at a 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Marchers included neo-fascists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen, antisemitic and anti-Islamic groups. A young woman, Heather Heyer, died after a man – later convicted of aggravated malicious wounding and hit and run – drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters.

In the aftermath of Jan. 6th, when Trump incited a mob to attack the United States Capitol to short-circuit then-Vice President Mike Pence from lawfully certifying the 2020 presidential election results, a Capitol Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, died defending American democracy.

Officer Sicknick was from New Jersey. The youngest of three sons, Mr. Sicknick grew up in South River and attended East Brunswick Technical High School. Prior to becoming a Capitol Police Office, he served in the New Jersey Air National Guard and was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant after serving in Operation Southern Watch and Operation Enduring Freedom.

“Who can lead the world other than the United States of America,” Biden said tonight. “America is winning and the world is better off for it.” America will continue to prosper when on Nov. 5th the voters put a prosecutor in office instead of a convicted felon, added the President.
