Did anyone really expect Trump to say that they should walk to the Capitol with violence? Of course not, whatever he intended, if not legal or lawful would be concealed behind legal and peaceful language. You cannot go by what a person says, even less when that person has premier legal advice available. "Mr. President, we know what you want to happen but you must not say that." It is enough that the President was misled into thinking that Pence could change the vote, it's enough that the President convinced the angry mob that Pence and the Senate could be coerced into changing the vote being counted.
Trump is responsible for everything that happened at the capitol that day because; without his lie that the election was stolen there would have been no reason for that rally, nor any reason for anyone to march on the Capitol, less any mob to be angry for any reason.
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
