President who labeled half of the country extremists now appeals for unity

 On Jan. 20, 2021, President Biden, in his Inauguration Day address, pledged his "Whole soul is this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation." In the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday, our nation has never been less cohesive or more divided and bitter.

After Mr. Pelosi was attacked, Mr. Biden addressed the nation, tying the assault to the events and passions of Jan. 6.

To be sure, Mr. Biden didn't directly cause a lunatic to open fire on Mr. Trump at that Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday afternoon, but his continued demonization of his Republican rival and his supporters is hard to square with any pledge to unify the country.

Mr. Biden's Justice Department has openly targeted conservatives, from pro-life demonstrators and parents attending school board meetings to Catholics worshipping in church.

In 2022, The New York Times reported that Mr. Biden "Confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted" and that he wanted his attorney general to "Act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6." Mr. Biden gleefully reminds Americans, at every moment possible, that Mr. Trump is now a "Convicted felon" who "Snapped" after the 2020 election.

He fails to mention his No. 3 man at the Justice Department, Matthew Colangelo, left his powerful post to join Alvin Bragg's bogus New York state prosecution of Mr. Trump - or that the judge in the case that found Mr. Trump guilty was a Biden donor.

Yes, Mr. Biden is correct; the rhetoric needs to be cooled in this country.
