"Obviously a lot of this event today, a lot of the President's speech, was colored by the emotion of the fact that exactly two weeks ago, 14 days ago, there was a mob of thugs, of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists, on the inaugural stand," Wallace continued in reference to the Capitol Hill riot which stormed the Capitol Building on Jan 6.

Biden was sworn into office at noon on Wednesday, becoming the 46th President of the United States.
