JOE Biden has been slammed for his so-called "totalitarian talk" after he compared the Capitol riot to the Civil War.
The president had said: "Not even during the Civil War did insurrectionists breach the Capitol of the United States of America: the citadel of our democracy. Not even then. But on January 6, 2021, they did."
His words sparked fury from Candace Owens who said his comments were part of efforts to "criminalize half the nation."
The conservative commentator told Fox News: "This is really just more totalitarian talk from Joe Biden trying to criminalize half the nation for supporting Donald Trump who should be in office instead of him.
"And that is what we must stand up to.
"Do not be afraid if you are a conservative to come together to host rallies, to host events, do not be afraid because you’re fearful that the FBI is going to try to criminalize you coming together.
"What they’re trying to do is to criminalize conservatives coming together to fight during times when their rights are being threatened."
'GRANDMAS TAKING SELFIES'
She noted his comments came following "an entire summer of Black Lives Matter burning down."
Candace added: "It's just hilarious following what was essentially an entire summer of Black Lives Matter burning down our city.
"You want to talk about people that were taking down, trying to take down federal statues, and they want me to be fearful about grandmas taking selfies."
"Nobody believes that January 6 was worse than the Civil War," she added.
Biden had made the comparison during a ceremony for police officers who had responded to the Capital riot on January 6.
Multiple cops testified about the horrific violence, racial slurs, and trauma they were subjected to when protecting the Capitol from the mob of MAGA fans.
LAID SIEGE
Trump's supporters laid siege claiming the incumbent president was the victor, while Congress certified his loss to President Joe Biden.
Four protesters died during the riot and one Capitol Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after confronting the violent mob.
More than 500 people already arrested have pleaded guilty over the deadly siege.
A fourth law enforcement officer who responded to the riot died by suicide last month.
Owens also said the Democrats "realize they are losing their grip with the regular Americans" and that Biden is repeating what "his handlers" tell him to say.
She added: "Joe Biden has no idea what he is talking about. He is saying exactly what his handlers tell him to say."
Officer Kyle DeFreytag, 26, was found dead on July 10.
The news came just hours after a spokesperson from MPD confirmed that another officer who was at the riots, Gunther Hashida, 43, was found dead at his home last week.
With DeFreytag and Hashida included, four officers who responded to the attempted insurrection at the Capitol have now taken their own lives.
