President Joe Biden spoke at the 2021 National Prayer Breakfast yesterday, using the occasion to condemn "political extremism"and call on Americans to unite as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, the Christian Post website reports today (February 5, 2021).
Biden -- the first Roman Catholic to serve as president of the U.S. since John F. Kennedy in 1963 -- delivered a speech at the annual breakfast that took place virtually this year because of COVID-19.
In his speech, the president weighed in on the "violent assault on the U.S. Capitol... an assault on our democracy, on our Capitol, a violent attack that threatened lives and took lives."
Biden added, "We know now we must confront and defeat political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism."
