Joe Biden slammed for not condemning Capitol attacker Noah Green who claimed to be Louis Farrakhan's follower
President Joe Biden has been receiving backlash for not condemning the suspect of the Capitol attack that took place on April 2. In his statement, Biden shared how heartbroken he was for officer William Evans who lost his life, however, there was no mention of the suspect Noah Green, who claimed to be a follower of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Biden said in his statement, "Jill and I were heartbroken to learn of the violent attack at a security checkpoint on the US Capitol grounds, which killed Officer William Evans of the US Capitol Police, and left a fellow officer fighting for his life. We send our heartfelt condolences to Officer Evans’ family, and everyone grieving his loss. We know what a difficult time this has been for the Capitol, everyone who works there, and those who protect it."

Biden added "I have been receiving ongoing briefings from my Homeland Security Advisor, and will be getting further updates as the investigation proceeds. I want to express the nation’s gratitude to the Capitol Police, the National Guard Immediate Response Force, and others who quickly responded to this attack. As we mourn the loss of yet another courageous Capitol Police officer, I have ordered that the White House flags be lowered to half-staff."
Green had mentioned on his Facebook that he was “Follower of Farrakhan”. Green rammed his car into two officers, one of whom died and the other was injured. Green exited the car after this and drew a knife when he was shot and killed by law enforcement.
Green also wrote on his page, "However, the path has been thwarted, as Allah has chosen me for other things," and added, "Throughout life, I have set goals, attained them, set higher ones, and then been required to sacrifice those things."
Many are claiming that Biden did not address the individual and how his alleged beliefs could have resulted in influencing his attack. One user on Twitter wrote, "Joe Biden Fails to Condemn Farrakhan Follower Capitol Hill Attack in Statement."

On the other hand, users have also been defending Biden and said, "Now you care about a police officer being murdered? Where were you on January 6th as the MAGA terrorists attacked the Capitol killing one and injuring hundreds. PS - Farrakhan is on your side. So MAGA strikes again."
