He whipped an armed mob to a frenzy with lies about them being cheated victims of a criminal Senate about to count votes to disenfranchise them. Then he turned this armed mob to the capitol building where the counting he wanted stopped was taking place. Then he lied to them, telling them that he would be there with them. Giving them the impression of having some official support behind them. Hardly a wonder they felt empowered to take any actions they deemed necessary.
