Fox News anchor Chris Wallace made no secret about how he felt watching President Joe Biden’s Inauguration speech Wednesday, calling it “the best inaugural address” he has ever heard.
“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, a buzz of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists on the inaugural stand.”
Wallace pointed to Biden’s particular focus on unity in the wake of a pandemic that has taken more than 400,000 American lives.
“Talking directly to the American people, saying, hear me out. We have a right to dissent peacefully, but our disagreement must not lead to disunion,” Wallace said.
Wallace told his Fox News colleagues that Biden’s speech reminded him of speeches that he has witnessed over the years, including President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
“I think it was less an inaugural address and more part sermon, part pep talk.”
